LCD?

I wonder how the LCD screen will respond after being put in pockets/backpacks. Whats great about the DS/SP is the clamshell design: sure the outer parts may get scratched, but the screens are always protected. It seems that the DS is still smaller than the PSP; it's definitely smaller in width and they seem to have the same height, even with the clamshell design...

As for load-times, I've got to see those are ridiculous. It's great being able to start playing immediately with the DS (if you have it in Auto-start). Heck, the best thing about portables is being able to play them in a bus/subway ride...those load times are just too damn long!

With all that said, the PSP does look like a sexy, sexy beast.
