Did the dumb PSP phase fizzle out?

[MetalMat]

Man, for like a week everyone was talking about using their PSP to do stuff like a PDA. Now I have not hear anything about one. Hell, I have yet to even see one in person, I just saw a nintendo DS for the first time a couple weeks ago.

I see them now and then.

And i don't know a single person, in real life or even on any forum, that claimed they were going to use their PSP as a PDA.

Never seen someone with one IRL.

I saw one guy on an airplane with one. While it was damn cool looking I just can't help but think if you own one of those it's like a modern day scarlet letter (the letter being v for virgin).

You serious????!! People were talking about "I cant use it to show people pictures", "I want it to surf the net", "I want to take notes on it" and like a million other things just in the ATOT forums.

Well, as a college student at UTexas Austin (50,000 student body) ... I have seen an incredible amount of PSPs. Just the other day, in my Phyiscs class, people were playing Game-shared games (meaning 1 game, multiple PSPs) and Wi-fi games or NFS: Underground Rivals, Hockey, and Streets Basketball. I was able to play NFS and Streets using the kids PSP next to me. I have also seen a few DS< but not nearly as many.
