Just thought this might be an interesting one.

Have a bit of a session with your mates and get to some food stuck inbetween your teeth do you try and find a tooth pick or just use the stylus?

Is there some safety concerns here?

But that's like saying because I read on the toilet, it makes it a newagents.

However much I'd like that to be true (it's not my fault, it's a fetish), it clearly isn't.

But if you can play games on a PDA - does that not make it a games console too (as well as a PDA)? It is at least a multi-function device.

The fact I'm using an IBM Thinkpad as I type and it has no type of mini joystick kind of worries me.

Unless you mean the nipple mouse. Which isn't a joystick.

The trouble is that as this generation grows up their idea of what is considered cool has progressed.

Today's youth are much more image aware, better off and more technically advanced this means although the PSP is aimed at the older gamer it is likely to take a lot of the younger market.
