PSP wishes it was an ipaq!

I'm sorry but as technologically impressive the PSP is, it DOES NOT and WILL NOT function competently as a PDA, in fact it looks like a desperate and pathetic attempt from Sony to bring us a 'Jack-of-all-trades' type device following the death of the Sony Clie.
Anyone can point out that this keyboard is very awkwardly placed, and therefore typing on it wouldn't be very convenient. (The USB port is on the top, so that's where the keyboard had to go.) In addition, as the PSP doesn't have a touch screen, I guess you'd have to control a cursor with the joystick. Again, not terribly convenient.
Dumb move Sony.
