Topic: Could iPod Compatibility Help the Rev?

No, I honestly don't think anything like this is in the works. I would be surprised if it were, quite frankly. That said, do you think that iPod compatibility could help the Rev?

Some ideas for how they could work together:

*Let you play your own music while you play.
*External super massive memory card.
*Use the Rev as a Juke box w/ visualizations.

Frankly, for the most part it would be gimmicky. It should, at least, provide positive press for Nintendo, and God knows they do need that.

Hmmm i think it could in the aesthetics point of view.

It's stupid, Nintendo would need to license all that tech from Apple and anyone who had enough of a brain to use a cheaper alternative will be locked out of this.

It might give Nintendo some kind of marketing boost, but otherwise such a feature would not sell any game systems.  People who bought an iPod bought it for music.  Assuming some happen to like video games as well, you still have to ask, who's going to pay something like $200-$350 for the priviledge of playing music from their iPod while playing games that they didn't like enough to buy the system for in the first place?

I was thinking about the same thing but I thought about if Nintendo & Apple mixed the DS and the iPod to make some sort of hybrid iDS. Now to me thats smarts but what do I know. Why do people, including myself, want Apple and Nintendo to hook up so bad? I guess it's because they seem so similar that it makes sense for them to team up.

An mp3 for the DS would be more likely. Using a memory card that goes into the GBA slot and using R and L to go back and forth between songs when the DS is closed would be some neat ideas.
