I think Sony have a lot of work to do on the user-interface still. They need to get it up to iOS standard before they think of releasing this. This is where the big three software companies (Apple, Microsoft and Google) have a large advantage. I was hoping Sony went with Android for the user interface of the NGP but they have gone down their own route which could end up being a complete disaster.
PSN integration will have to be best in class as well. I was hoping Sony would partner with Steam for that but as of yet nothing has come of it. Sony needs to realize it needs expertise in user-interface/software/services/networks badly still because clearly it is not learning as fast as the competition is progressing.

[QUOTE="Vulgotha, post: 5535341]This looks stupid.[/QUOTE]
I'm going to have to agree with Vulgotha on this one. One thing I've always liked about Sony's designs is that they are sleek and slim. From the consoles themselves to the XMB, I've come to correlate Sony with those sort of designs. The NGP doesn't look horrible by any means, but to me the design comes across as odd and well, more of something I'd expect on one of Nintendo's gadgets.
That being said, it all comes down to the actual content. If the NGP turns out to be a great handheld device, I'll certainly put consideration into purchasing it -- despite a less than desirable design.

Yeah, and hopefully we will all be spending more time in actual games and applications than fiddling with that ugly interface. lol
