PSP, Nano or Ipod touch?

Question

I am going on a plane for about 12 hours and want to buy one of these for that plane ride. Unless the airplane has a jack in it for me to charge the touch, I will only use the ipod touch for about half the plane ride. The PSP wont last much longer, not sure how long it will last. So which would be best to take on the plane ride? the touch is cooler, the nano will last longer but im a gamer and would love to play games on the psp, which by the way can i download itunes on the psp? However, the new psp coming out later this year i will most likely get to play the metal gear game on.

So which should I buy since they are close enough on the price?

Thank you

Answer 1

Buy one of those portable recharger units. They are basically lithium ion batteries that you can plug an ipod (or any USB powered unit) into to get a recharge. It will last your whole flight. and you re-charge it when you get back to use it on your return flight

Answer 2

I would say the ipod touch, just don't play it for the first part of the ride and let the battery run dead. Listen to it on and off. Personally I like the psp the best but since the psp2 is coming out don't get it. the ipod touch has many activities and apps also. Go with the itouch. Have a great trip!

Answer 3

I would definently bring the nano. I have the new nano and you can put movies and there is already 3 games on it. I have my screen dimmed all the way and the backlight only stays on for 2 seconds on mine. It lasts a long time and as long as you load it up with good music it should keep you entertained.



You should wait on the PSP because I know from experiance how annoying it is to buy a product then the company comes out with a cool new updated product. LOL !!



Have fun and hope this helped!! :D

Answer 4

dont get a PSP purely because of the new PSP GO coming out soon.

between the iPod Nano and the iPod touch...get the iPod touch because you can put music on it just like the Nano BUT you also get sweet iTunes Apps for games. There are games for free...games for 99 cents, and some for 10 bucks. You can get EA Tiger Woods for your iPod touch for 10 bucks whereas for your PSP it would be like 30. so def the iPod touch.

and no you cant put itunes on a psp.

Answer 5

PSP has way cooler games for it. The ipod touch is only convenient if you have wireless and can download games immediately when you get bored with one of them. Plus if you go on ebay you can get a battery powered portable charger for the PSP so it has the potential to last for the entire plane ride.

Answer 6

The Ipod touch has some apps that wont last you a long time.

I say go for the psp since you can listen to music and watch videos and play even better games that the Ipod certainly can't play.

Answer 7

Ipod touch. its an iphone just minus the phone. It has a sweet touch screen, external speakers, volume control on the side, ability to download any iphone apps like the one where it tells you the name of any song playing anywhere just by sound recognition as well as many games, it can connect to wifi anywhere it is available, it has a big screen for watching movies (compared to nano at least), and it is just plain cool.

I like all three though, and each has its own benefits, but i don't feel like explaining them all. (I do that enough working at Best buy as it is)

Answer 8

The psp because it rules and you can listen to music play games, movies. You can do what i do buy two batteries charge them both and when one runs out put the other one in.

Answer 9

in spite of the fact that extra high priced, the ipod touch is unquestionably the terrific selection. It has so plenty extra useful properties, features, and memory. it relatively is unquestionably the main properly matched and destiny data then any of the different products besides. in case you will purchase between the three and value isn't an argument then relatively get the ipod touch.

Answer 10

Ipod touch simple

Answer 11

go with the touch in my opion. the psp is is bulky on all sides but the touch is thn and chock full of apps. my touch can go 8 hours when using my apps but it will probally only go six.

Answer 12

Nano Chromatic.

Worth your money, packed with features and it isn't big and bulky like the iPod Touch.

Answer 13

I'd say the iPod Nano, check out the games that you can buy from itunes: http://www.apple.com/games/



I personally like Spore but that's me.

Answer 14

Blackberry Storm :)





Out of those three, definitely the PSP!

Answer 15

i would get the psp u can play games and have music on it at the same time....and you probabloy wouldnt play it for 12 hrs straight i can almost gaurantee it

Answer 16

Ipod Touch...why?!....

MacInTouch reviewed the original iPod Touch in 2007, concluding that the device — essentially an iPhone sans phone and camera — served as a feature-rich iPod and the least-expensive way to explore the revolutionary "multitouch" interface that made the iPhone so famous. The "iTouch", as it's sometimes dubbed, had the interface, operating system and most of the hardware of the iPhone, while bypassing the 2-year AT&T contract, a $1680+ pre-requisite for the iPhone in the U.S.



The original iPod Touch lacked email and applications (other than Web apps via its Mobile Safari browser), and it had other deficiencies, as well: no volume buttons, no speaker, no camera and no Bluetooth, although it featured WiFi networking, along with USB. As a media player, this iPod Touch was limited to 8 or 16 GB of storage vs. the iPod Classic's 80 or 160 GB capacity.



Today's second-generation iPod Touch improves a bit upon the original hardware, but it was the 2008 introduction of Apple's iTunes App Store that has turned the device into a full-fledged mobile computer with tens of thousands of third-party applications available.



To date, the iPod Touch is the only device other than the iPhone that works on Apple's mobile application platform. And that is the reason to buy one.



Platform

The iPod Touch uses the same operating system as the iPhone, which is a (massively) slimmed-down version of the "OS X" operating system used for Apple's Macintosh computers. The Mobile Safari browser is based on Apple's desktop Safari browser (though it doesn't support Flash content), but the user interface is completely different. The iPhone/iPod Touch UI is designed from the ground-up for fingers and small screens rather than the mice and relatively large screens of desktop and laptop computers, and every other phone vendor has been scrambling to catch up with it. [See our first iPod Touch review for more details about the underlying hardware platform and user interface, as well as our iPhone reviews, listed in the "Links" section below.]



In 2008, the year after the iPod Touch's debut, Apple rolled out "OS 2.0" for its mobile platform (dropping "X" from its name). Aside from some performance improvements and bug fixes, the real news was support for Apple's new iTunes App Store, which opened up a whole world of third-party apps, drastically expanding the usefulness of the device and justifying many more purchases.



In other words, iPod Touch is not a Walkman-like, single-purpose device. It is an evolving, general purpose computing platform that fits in the palm of your hand.



OS 3.0

iPhone OS 3.0 is due this summer. Like OS 2.0, it should run on all previous iPod Touch models, with an upgrade price of $9.95. Apple gave a public preview, focussing on features for developers but also showcasing new features for end users. Notable enhancements include MMS messaging (to support sending and receiving pictures, contacts, audio messages and map locations); voice memos; calendaring enhancements; cut-and-paste (like Mac OS X has); and a new Spotlight system for searching the iPod's contents (including third party app data, if the developer writes a plug-in).



Other anticipated features include WiFi auto-login, support for Stereo Bluetooth headphones, Notes sync, Safari anti-phishing security improvements and form auto-fill, improved parental controls, true YouTube login, and the ability to get movies and TV shows directly from Apple's store without having to use your Mac or PC to buy-and-sync them over iTunes.



Apple also promises a developers' interface to the Dock port in OS 3.0 for enabling custom hardware and software access — think audio recording, data acquisition, 3G cellular data or fax modems... and ultimately anything the homebrew hardware community can dream up! (A little keyboard, like the fold-up ones that used to be made for the Palm III and Palm V series, would be quite welcome.)



But, as we await OS 3.0, what does the second-generation iPod Touch have for you today?



Hardware

The second-generation iPod Touch (available with 8, 16 or 32 GB of memory) adds external volume controls and a speaker for sound effects. It also has a faster processor, although Apple doesn't mention this in any of its marketing materials. We found that applications launch faster, Safari displays web pages faster, email fetches faster and everything feels quicker. When running the same apps side-by-side with an iPhone 3G, the second-generation iPod Touch was a clear winner — faster and more responsive. (It probably doesn't hurt that the iTouch doesn't have to run the cell phone communication software in the background like iPhone does... but that software spends most of its time idle on iPhone anyway.)



The speaker is hidden inside the headphone jack. It has a much smaller opening to broadcast its sound than the iPhone, so it's a lot quieter. But it's adequate for casual gaming, and makes the alarm and timer func
