Nintendo DSi

Interesting article about Nintendo's DSi.

"DSi... has full WiFi Web browsing, a downloadable app store, and even two built-in cameras and expandable storage via an SD slot. In some respects this is a smart phone with no phone but a lot of smarts."

"The major overhaul of the DS handheld enlarges both of the original LCD screens, which is good for games but even better for Web browsing. The real surprise in the DSi is the usability of the Opera browser."

"And then there is the DSi Shop. At first blush this digital downloads shop seems like just another way to distribute games directly to consumers, which it is. But there is potential here for it to be more. Given the connectivity already present in the DSi, why wouldn't Nintendo approach Yahoo to design an IM client or Twitter and Facebook to offer mobile versions of their social networking tools?"
