Contradictory questions. Even though I don't have a DS, I know I'd prefer it, but I play my PSP more, since it's the only one I have. I don't know what to answer. D:
Definitely the DS, it has the best software support. I own the other two, but the PSP never had the games (except for a few), and the IPod touch just doesn't feel like a real gaming console. The IPod has some really cool games, and some that are on par with older console games (GTA Chinatown wars, NOVA) but they never hold my attention for very long after I buy them, they just feel like a bunch of minigames.
I just find the ds annoying to use. The stylus is too gimicky and rarely implemented affectively. Just because you have buttons and a pen doesn't mean you need to use both. I don't have 3 hands.
The psp never appealed to me, I've never even held one so I can't really comment on it.
The iphone has an insane range of apps, free and paid. I probably play more with my iphone than with my xbox as it has a surprising amount of genre's which work well with a touch pad or directional sensor. Topple, Paper Toss, Wooden Labyrinth and chess are all very fun games with different game play dynamics that work well on the phone.

well i have to say my dsxl because i really use portable gaming as a time killer like if i have a few empty minutes and the game library for the ds is perfect for some quick casual gaming if i have time to really get into a game for a long run (like 4 to 7 hours) on a game i find i never really like doing it on a handheld and id rather use my ps3. so ds great for some casual gaming if you have some time to kill and not near your primary console 8)
GBA, I don't have a DS yet but my sister has one which she hardly EVER uses so I use that a fair bit too 
I don't see the iPad or iPhone as gaming platforms. Maybe one day I will grow up but today is not that day
OT: I have played out Soul Silver before my country had it so, I answered PSP because of a PSN purchased copy of Final Fantasy VIII and, Lunar. I also have been using my PSP for music and watching downloaded videos since my Zune's lock busted and I've been paranoid about using it...

DS but its not really fair because I dont have any other modern day potables. I do believe I have every itteration to the Gameboy family (not all the little extra ones they made though).
