That is why the GB beat most of its competition. It's more technically powerful competion, anyway. Battery life. Sure, games too, but battery life was one of the most important factors...
Now, we don't know the final DS battery life. They say 'like the SP', but with more powerful graphics and two screens I don't see how they will pull that off... but with a card-based media format it'll certainly be way above the PSP battery life.
Of course, the PSP will still do very well. The PlayStation name is extremely popular and that will sell many consoles. And the DS definitely is a different product that not everyone will understand. But moves like this, and the high price, show that Sony won't be taking over the handheld market anytime soon. They'll get a foothold, but I think Nintendo will hold the majority for some time. And then the next Game Boy comes out.
