Shot surfaces of Nintendo DS headset
We know that Datel has already released such a product, but it finally looks like Nintendo is going to get into the game with a snazzy DS Lite-esque headset of their own. It only does the mono thing, so it'll be fine for taunting n00bs in Metroid Prime Hunters and communicating some forthcoming Pokémon games, but not so hot for stereo gaming. With that said, the unit should be out in Japan September 14th for around $10. We just want to know: whatever happened to DSpeak?
Vonage prepping VoIP solutions for DS and PSP?
Although neither device has a true VoIP option yet, UK tech site T3 is reporting that "a source close to...Vonage" (i.e. a friend of a friend of a friend) has confirmed that the VoIP provider is developing WiFi calling solutions for both the Sony PSP and Nintendo DS. We've known for awhile that both systems were capable of implementing the ol' VoIP, but other than a random blog musing we reported on last year, this is the first indication we've seen of a major player making moves in this direction. Even for a rumor, the details here are pretty thin, such as how Vonage plans to actually implement VoIP in the disparate devices -- the possibilities include a firmware update for the PSP, and either DSpeak-like software or an Opera-like cartridge for the DS -- or even a hint of when we can expect to see any products come to market. As you might expect, Vonage itself declined to comment on the matter when contacted by T3.
