this isn't what they should go after. IMO, the nintendo DS is geared towards children 5-14. I've used one, its a good console, I just don't like having to draw on a screen to play my game. The PSP has historically been made for a bit more mature market, e.g. using optical disks instead of cartridges and having a lot more teen and mature rated titles; that's why I'm buying it instead of a 3DS. I know mobile gaming for young adults is not quite as big a niche as mobile gaming for kids, but its still one that needs to be filled, and if the PSP keeps doing the job its been doing, it'll always have a market.
it just seems to be the common phrase. I don't mind it, it implies that the piece of hardware isn't free; its jailed, which is true and it conveys the proper message. e.g. you don't jailbreak, say, a droid; its not jailed.

Indeed, HDTV has caused quite a lot of stagnation in that field. http://xkcd.com/732/
