Holiday decisions: PSP or video iPod?

I've got an iRiver 799 and an iPod-Mini (the green one). But I've been thinking about getting a device to support the growing demand for video. And since my station's gotten huge into the podcasting and VOD markets, it'll help my cause to spread the word about time-shifted media consumption if I carry around some shows and clips to demo in public.

So the question becomes - what should I ask Santa for this Christmas? Sony's PlayStation Portable or Apple's video-enabled iPod? For my money, I'm going with the PSP because it can do more, so there's greater utility. They're both about the same price, teetering at around $250 (give or take $20). Locally, PSPs are more accessible, being sold at most places that carry video games, and many video stores. And with the mad-dash to get the Xbox 360, there's more of a guarantee that I can nab one if I want. iPods are harder to come by, and once word gets out, it's a customer battle that would rival the mid-80's Cabbage Patch Kids melees to get one.

The downside would ebe that I wouldn't be able to play ABC TV programming from the iTunes Music Store, and seeing as how we don't have TiVo, Comcast or DirecTV out here, I can';t check out any other network programming. So I'm relegated to transferring RSS-based vodcasts and buying UMDs if I want movies and TV. I'm OK with that, seeing as how I can still play music, do gaming and a couple more things.

So while it would be nice to have both, Sony gets my money this holiday.
