It wasn't during class, so I guess that means they were obsessed.

EDIT: ALSO... someone stated, I forget who, that Pictochat is more useful feature than mp3 playback for online multiplayer gaming functions... but why are you comparing those two? PSP also has chat capabilities with usb port to plug in a small keyboard... or a huge one.

I'm not exactly sure what you're getting at, but....the DS has chat capabilities as well as PictoChat. There's a built in microphone you know. But the PSP does not have anything like PictoChat. And I want to see you typing on a keyboard on a handheld.

In any case, I can think of some ways that PictoChat type functionality can accomplish some things that voice chat can't. Just for starters, it allows you to point at things. It's like the function in Warcraft III that lets you mark a particular point on the map. It's much more efficient than, "That point right there. No there. Up a bit. Two steps left from the rock. No, the other rock."
