I'm interested in a PDA that I could use for wireless Internet when I'm away from home. At the moment I'm torn between getting a PSP and getting the GP2X. If I were to get the PSP I would have to hack it and put Linux on it, but if I were to get a GP2X all I'd have to do is buy a WIFI chip. What do you guys think I should do?

Trust me when I say I wouldn't know, but from what I hear the PSP is worth it if your in to that sort of thing. It's more work, but it apparently performs much better.
Once again, please dont make your decision based on me, I'm just saying what I heard.

With the new Pandora method of hacking a PSP I'd go PSP all the way... Currently mine is fully hacked and can run pretty much anything... PSX, SNES, GBA, Genesis, Master System, NES roms and my own .iso files of my (cough cough) original UMD games... Also have a look st the updates on the PSP Slim as it may tickle your fancy more than the current Original Flavour version...

Sure, everything I've learned has been through http://www.pspmod.com/ - It's an excellent community of likeminded people, much like RG is/was/will be 
I would go for GP2X, but that's because i already won DS and PSP in monthly pools in RG. Also I wouldnt want to run linux on PSP, but i wouldnt want to run it on my PC neither. Seriously - when you need to use PSP for typing any text - its a pain in the ass.
I would rather run linux on DS with Slot-1 card and Slot-2 memory expansion (some slot-2 cards come with 32MB of RAM), at least virtual keyboard is pretty comfortable. Plus, unlike on PSP, there are actually fun games to play on DS.

Seriously, what do you think that phrase means? What it means is that there were some drivers released for some ARM Linux and because of that there is a chance that at some point in time GP2X will get a working SDIO card. "Increased the possibility" means it's impossible right now but could be possible in the future.
