I have owned this particular gaming device for about 18 months, but quite frankly, it's been gathering dust in my old gadget closet (which could probably net me a minor fortune on eBay. But that's another story). I stopped using this device not because I didn't think the device was way cool, but rather because it was too difficult to commit to that particular format from a dollar perspective (that a big enough hint?). But as I said, I blew off the dust, set it up to connect with my wireless network, downloaded the most recent firmware upgrade(s) and - damn -- it was like an entirely new and different device - and experience -- altogether. One that I was genuinely really pleased with. All of a sudden rather than having to buy physical discs, I could download games with ease. I could purchase movies and TV shows and view them on a screen that is significantly better than my iPhone. I can Skype on it. My kids can use it while traveling. ANd it makes a great travel companion.

You get my point. Not sure exactly where I am going with all this, exactly, except that while this device is unlikely to replace my iPhone for obvious reasons, all of a sudden it's most certainly going to be the second device that I carry, especially when traveling. I guess if anything, it goes to show the power of an Internet, versus physical media, model, particularly from a mobility standpoint.
