My thoughts :P :

1) iPod nano : expensive, but looks very sexy, very delicate, great sound quality, nice user interface, liable to be stolen (I mean come on, those trademark white iPod earphones are so obvious :D), okay battery life.
2) Creative zen : cheap, not as sexy, strong, robust, okay sound quality, okay user interface, not liable to be stolen, very long battery life
3) PSP : very expensive, need to buy at least 2 gb memory to use as MP3 player (costs 50 pounds), sexy as hell, not as delicate as iPod but not as strong as Cz, **** sound quality with original earphones (recommend to buy sony fontopia earphones), okay user interface, very liable to be stolen if you flash it around on the bus, okay battery life, can play videos, games, NES,SNES, PS1, N64 .................. emulation (dont moderate me :()

There you go. :D

You're probably better off with a zen if you want just a media player. PSP is too costly to get capacities anywhere near a hard drive based player.

Stay far away from the PSP for a media center. Sony botched that idea long ago. Now i dont mean just every once in awhile video watching, the PSP is fine for that, but Memory sticks cost too much to do much with it. The ZVM is a good choice for a media center.

PSP in terms of a just an mp3 player is probably the worst one to buy...i mean...you have to buy a seperate memory stick if you want to hold any songs at all. and even then you have to spend $270 for something like the same capacity as a nano...and its humungous.
