Ken Kutaragi's predictions that PSP would take its seat as the "Walkman of the 21st century" now looks like a bad joke. Apple's iPhone is the only device that might make such a ludicrous claim and, even with that happy little chappy's amazing success, Walkman still feels like an overblown comparison.

iPhone's relevance to PSP goes beyond the hyperbole of executives. When it launched around the world in 2004 and 2005, PSP looked like something futuristic and pretty. But even after the introduction of lighter, sleeker versions in 2007 and 2008, with attendant jump in sales, it now looks like a contraption whose time has gone. iPhone is smaller, sleeker, prettier, and better in almost every department, save as a games device."
