Device dilemma...

I'm in a device dilemma... Now what on earth is a "device dilemma" you may be thinking. Well, my device dilemma is caused between either getting an Ipod or a Sony PSP.

Both can play Mp3, but the PSP has less memory and is more bulkier. Nevertheless, I think that if a new portable media format emerges, the PSP may be able to play these files with a firmware update, but I am not so sure about the Ipod. But the PSP is bulkier and not so cool looking as the Ipod is. So which one to get? In the end it may well be that I get none of the two, simply because of the fact that what to do with it when some new format emerges, or there is a hardware failure after the warranty period is over. Then you sit there with some 300Euro's worth of junk. Repairing it would perhaps cost an arm and a leg. This is why I still prefer buying audio CDs. A portable CD player is cheap, and media is plentiful. And from what I've come to understand, converting from MP3 to a lossless format such as FLAC is really no point in doing, because the conversion from a inferior format to a superior. Oh how this digital portable media age will have researchers in the future thinking "what the heck where they thinking".
