Executive Toy Box: JVP Partner's Sony PSP

Forbes recently interviewed a super executive on what his favorite "executive toy" is... and, of course, it's the PSP!

What's your single favorite gadget?

Sony PlayStation Portable

Price: About $250

Why do you love it?

The PSP is the perfect "snacking" device for busy executives. It allows you to unwind using a slick, portable device, and its gaming capability takes it to a whole new level. It feels as graphically rich as the PlayStation 2, and it has a nice range of games to choose from.

What would you change about it?

It's not quite there yet in terms of being the ultimate multimedia device--it still has room for improvement in playing video and is dependent on a relatively expensive proprietary Sony storage format called UMD. People should have a broader choice.

What's the one device you wish someone would invent?

I think that, between Sony (nyse: SNE - news - people ) and Apple Computer (nasdaq: AAPL - news - people ), they have it all--from music to games. And hopefully they can together create a streamlined approach to accessing and viewing videos. For an all-in-one device, the ability to receive broadcast TV would significantly enhance the snacking capability. The ability to be connected to real-time video news would be very helpful from my perspective.
