My take:
- Dell X50 > Gizmondo
- PSP >/= DS (can't quite tell right now)
- Zodiac = Palm OS, 'nuff said

For the user's concern, there's nothing wrong with PalmOS on the Zodiac. You never even see it. You can't even compare the X50 and the Gizmondo - hell it's unknown if it'll be like the Zodiac with the ability to run standard WinCE games.

DS is going to be $150, while don't expect the PSP to be any lower than $200. That's DOA right there.
