The next gen DS needs to make the two screens flush with each other, it needs a capacitive touch screen, 16gb built in memory + SD card memory, and a graphics power jump. Of course Nintendo pretty much owns this market so they probably won't do any of it.

Don't get me wrong I'm all for connectivity but nearly every single thing being made now has to have features that aren't what the product is made for. From refrigerators having televisions built in, to lamps having ipod docks, to phones having everything from camera's to flashlight apps, blu-ray players that have pandora music support, xbox 360 that has twitter, etc... It's like they are just throwing in more and more features that a fraction of the people will ever use but advertise that it HAS the ability to do these things.

The one thing I find the funniest is that these days, people buy cellphones for everything except the one thing it was designed for, "talking to people" etc...Nearly every review nowadays is about having this certain OS support, GPS, WiFi for internet browsing, Music capabilities, camera for pictures, but hardly anything for calling or call quality.

I guess people want everything to have EVERYTHING...

Any thoughts?]]>Jul 30th 2009 7:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/30/dsi-v1-4-firmware-happening-now-in-japan-bringing-facebook-conn/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/30/dsi-v1-4-firmware-happening-now-in-japan-bringing-facebook-conn/
In all seriousness, the convenience of everything have everything is reducing redundancy in life (not in the market per se).

Having a mobile phone capable of many computing tasks saves us from having to stop what we're doing, sit in front of a computer (for example) and complete any given task.

I love the innovation, and hope things get even more streamlined/converged.

And facebook does come in Japanese, so it's not like they are complete strangers to it.]]>Jul 31st 2009 6:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/30/dsi-v1-4-firmware-happening-now-in-japan-bringing-facebook-conn/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/30/dsi-v1-4-firmware-happening-now-in-japan-bringing-facebook-conn/
Just because Facebook comes in Japanese doesn't mean anyone uses it in Japanese.

I guarantee Mixi has at least 80% market share in Japan.

In fact, I've heard of Japanese Exchange Students asking Japanese friends to friend them on Facebook. Apparently, none of them knew what Facebook was.]]>Jul 31st 2009 9:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/30/dsi-v1-4-firmware-happening-now-in-japan-bringing-facebook-conn/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/30/dsi-v1-4-firmware-happening-now-in-japan-bringing-facebook-conn/Jul 30th 2009 10:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/30/dsi-v1-4-firmware-happening-now-in-japan-bringing-facebook-conn/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/30/dsi-v1-4-firmware-happening-now-in-japan-bringing-facebook-conn/Jul 31st 2009 5:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/30/dsi-v1-4-firmware-happening-now-in-japan-bringing-facebook-conn/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/30/dsi-v1-4-firmware-happening-now-in-japan-bringing-facebook-conn/Jul 31st 2009 7:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/30/dsi-v1-4-firmware-happening-now-in-japan-bringing-facebook-conn/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/30/dsi-v1-4-firmware-happening-now-in-japan-bringing-facebook-conn/I think the DS and the PSP should not get this kind of firmware integration with any type of stupid social networking!!!

Seriously keep focusion on games, otherwhise you will lose market for $ELLPHONES that can play games!

the DS games totally sucks and now they are trying to block flashcards because of a sudden drop in sells haha It's time to make something new BIG N]]>Jul 31st 2009 11:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/30/dsi-v1-4-firmware-happening-now-in-japan-bringing-facebook-conn/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/30/dsi-v1-4-firmware-happening-now-in-japan-bringing-facebook-conn/http://facebookmania.net/]]>Aug 16th 2009 11:48PM
