Ya bro I know what your talking about. I love those HP entertainment computers that have the remote and everything to allow you to use your computer as a personal video recorder.
Facked up how fast computers become obsolete. 3 years ago my computer was top of line and now they have double processors, 5 times the memory, fast dvd burners included and TV tuners.

Ya that PSP will have so many capabilities once they come out with bigger Memory Sticks.
You can already do alot with just 1Gig but more will be great.

BTW, Is there something like an "in car" kit available for PSP?... I mean like a cradle or something?

yes there is, google "PSP car kit" and u'll find all u need.

I guess it depends on your needs. The PSP is great but its not for everybody. For starters it is kinda bulky for everyday music listening plus not everyone wants or needs on the go movies and wifi (why not, its beyond me... ) but yeah the best thing is to decide what u really need as far as features and capacity and then do a little research. I find cnet pretty useful for that but there are tons of sites that review electronics.

in my opion the ipod is over rated like, phanta said is all about the marketing. The best thing to get is the PSP like Jaime Cruz said, is a better product and u get more out of it, a close second is the Creative Zen Vision:M (I think GENIE has the name wrong).

to answer some questions:

ARE THEY REALLY THAT EXPENSIVE??
I think so, for the same price u can get something better.

COULD I JUST GET ONE FOR MUSIC ONLY.....WOULD IT BE CHEAPER
yes and yes

CAN I DESIGN IT MYSELF?
nope :(

DOES NIKE MAKE IPODS (GOTTA GIVE MY DAD A CALL)
nope, Apple makes the ipod.

And... tell me if I'm wrong (anyone)........ but at the rate that this technology is moviing, doesn't it make more sense to buy something inexpensive and just upgrade every so often to, again, something inexpensive at that time?
I have a feeling I'll be able to buy a 60 Gig IPod for about $150, 6 months from now
Instead of having bought a 60 Gig IPod for $500 a few months ago and having it bee obsolete in a few months from now?

iPods are crap. Ive had 3 of of them and they all suck @ss.. IF I had actually paid for them Id be mad. Its all just very good marketing (so good in fact, that they use it as a case example in a lot of marketing classes) people buy them cause they buy into the hype of the name. Like Genie said, there are a lot of much better devices in the market even cheaper than iPods but people buy iPods cause its "cool" to say u got an iPod. I was at the Apple store yesterday exchanging my Shuffle (which I use as a flash drive, and only cause I got it free) for the 3rd time... even the guy at the store said "I am not a big fan of the iPod players, not the best product Apple makes" My 30GB and 20GB before it, were crap too. Crashing all the time, battery life is garbage, but atleast they look pretty... BLAH!

Totally agree with you. There are plenty on the market with more memory(20gb-30gb) that are going for the same price as the cheaper Ipods with just (4gb-5gb) and have bigger sceens and more capabilities. I personally love my PSP and am glad I got that as a gift instead of an Ipod that I was considering. Games, Free movies(on a good sized screen) and Music
