I've got a PSP go and it's rubbish! I don't like any of the games that are out for it and it spends most of its time switched off and unused. I play more games on my phone that I ever did on it.

3) Ipod Touch. Does internet well but battery is rubbish

If they could only have one, it would be the DS. They are under 12 though, so you might be after different things.

Not sure about the net interface on 1 but I tried a PSP wirelessly to the internet and it was DIRE. Rubbish entry mechanism, certainly wouldn't get one for surfing the net, unless its been upgraded recently. Good games though, nice graphics, sound etc...

Ipod is fine and relatively easy to enter URLs etc..

I'd suggest waiting until the release of the Sony NGP later this year before you decide.

What about an iPad? Ok, it won't fit in your pocket (unless you're a clown) but it's got the large screen and cheap games, Internet etc etc.

If you're of an age to need reading glasses then as you play there will be a little voice inside your head saying "put it down and get on with some work".

Handheld Gaming Device

I've decided to buy my first handheld gaming device, so need some advice as to what to get.

It needs to have a reasonably sized screen, big enough not to need my reading glasses to see it. It should connect to the interweb, have a good range of reasonably priced games, etc etc.

Not sure what else, as never had one before. Any suggestions what would be a good option?
