I too said that I thought Nintendo is in some deep shit the moment they announced the DS and Sony announced the PSP. Apparently, it looks like what could be a repeat of the N64 vs PSX in terms of media choice, storage media, game library. Sony's influence will simnply bleed from their momentum of the PS2 over to the PSP.
The problem is, Nintendo should have did some solid work with releasing the next Gameboy, something comparable in power to the GC like the PSP is to the PS2, THEN experiment with the DS.
In terms of the current competitors, I think if Sony is trying to threaten the iPod, Gameboy, and Palm all at once, you haven't seen anything yet. Just wait until Microsoft starts, they'll take home the cake. They'll have a gaming machine, a cell phone, and a Pocket PC all in 1, and then every salary/business man in the world would have one of those.
