Okay, okay, let's clear the air here. We don't need to start a fight here.
The PlayStation Pocket has a better resolution than the Nintendo DS. (480 x 272 compared to 256 x 192 per NDS screen [totaling 256 x 384 for both screens]). The PSP wins the graphics category.
It is a nice bonus to have a free media player in the PSP, but the Image Converter software should be free as well. Plus the NDS media player is compatible with the GBA/GBA SP. The PSP wins this category, but Sony really could've done a better job.
With the horrendous battery life of the PSP, a manual wireless switch is a must. (It still sucks, but it must exist.) As far as I can tell, the NDS narrowly takes this category.
Both systems have a sleep function, which is very useful. (Kamalot took this spot to take a cheap [but not uncalled-for] shot at the PSP's battery life.)
See #3 for media player info.
Of course Sony has more 3rd party support, but Nintendo's 1st party games have their own unique crowd. It's just a matter of personal preference here; no clear victor.
$150 < $185
That's all there is to it. NDS wins.
The PSP's screen may suck compared to a >$1,000 monitor, but it's not bad. Graphicswise, the PSP wins this category, but when we factor in the touch screen, the NDS takes this category easily.
"Announcements are coming very soon"
Of course the PSP and the NDS both will have new and maybe even exciting peripherals. Obviously Nintendo still has a few tricks up their sleeve, and we can also expect more from Sony. (Don't forget Nintendo and Sony are working on their new consoles.)
Poor design choices? The disc vs. cartridge dispute is in the forum down the hall. Yes it sucks that you need a $50 memory card for the PSP, but if you already have one for your digital camera, it's a nice feature.
I know I haven't covered everything, but I don't have that kind of time. (Who am I kidding? I have no life, I just don't feel like researching this further.)
By the way, Mike Hawk, anyone who posts in an online forum isn't too far away from a fanboy.

B) The battery life is an issue. The PSP has terrible battery life compared to the NDS. Don't act like it's not important.
