How can they improve on this?...( hint: not much)

First off, a disclaimer: I am no gamer. Certainly, I've played a few, but this was bought for my Wifey, so I'm picking her brains right now. Also, I've done some snooping to see for myself and made some observations.
I thought the unit was a bit on the large size. I had no idea it didn't fit into the palm of one hand. Wifey straightened me out by saying it felt good in her grip; controls were spaced well and accessible. The Piano Black is a nice change from those drab, plastic looking game consoles of recent past and back beyond. Both Wifey and I are just blown away over the quality of the media on the screen. It's a nice size that most people won't have to strain their eyes to see. As for the software part of it, all I can say is "how can you go wrong with a game, photo, mp3, movie player and wifi web browser?" Admittedly, we haven't tried them all out yet. We both agree that the sound out of the speaker is not loud enough. It's ok for quiet places, but anything louder than a library will overshadow the sound. I'm sure a good pair of earbuds would be beneficial. We don't have a good pair yet, but will acquire shortly.
I understand the need for change, but I honestly don't know why Sony chose to come out with a different unit - this one's really worth a look see for most everyone's taste, in my opinion. Hope this helps someone!
