I don't own any, but from what I seen they all suck.
The ergonomics and load times on the PSP are horrid. A lack of a second analogue stick or even another dpad that can be used with the right-hand thumb means having to deal with crappy automated cameras.
The DS does not have enough textured-triangle pushing power to have both compelling believable characters and environments. It does not have enough resolution to have expressive characters outside of closeups. So the end result is a lot of games with fixed 2D sprites that limit interactive animation.
The iPod touch and ZuneHD lack any controls with tactile feedback. The install base of people willing to dump $20+ for a game on those platforms is not large of enough to fund anything significant.
The windows mobile/palm/android/blackberry gaming scene is simply dry.
The typical netbook has lots of potential, but noone are trying to make any serious games targeting that platform.
I'll wait to see how the next generation turns out.

Leave and never return, We'll all be happier with one less fanboy/retard.Rhodeyo said:
OT: Laptop.
*Edit*
Wait a second, aren't Fanboys are Retards one of the same? *Double checks Dictionairy*.
Yup, they got your picture "Keegan Rhodes" under both defintions.
Have a Good Day, I'm going to return to grouchy castle.

The framerate was awesome back in my day.

Nintendo DS for me, closely followed by the gameboy colour
As a side note the spell checker on here apparently doesn't like my spelling of colour. Strange...

Ummm... since the first answer I thought of was definitely going to get me in trouble, I'll go with the truthful answer: None.
The last hand-held game device I owned was an early-80's football game, and the last console I owned was a Sega/SegaCD.
But seriously, me.

!!! I can't remember whether it was MiXim by Noboyuki Anzai or The World God Only Knows by Wakaki Tamiki, but it was one of them! I swear it on the questionable name of Thanksgiving!Lullabye said:
But, yeah... I prefer the old DS. PSP has some great games, but they lose their appeal over time, and the new DSes can't play gameboy color games...
the ds, but can I say something. there are only like a few of them so there are only so many answers you can give
The DS wins it for me easily, with the GBA-SP coming in soon afterwards.
Actually, come to think of it, I haven't actually played a hand-held console that wasn't made by Nintendo. I've seen people use the PSP though, and it didn't look like something I'd really use much.

Gameboy SP purely because of its back light, when i was a kid and was supposed to be sleeping for school the next day i used to sit under my covers playing pokemon and mario 
Good times.
Good times.
