So, I turned on my Wii today and had to flip over to my second page of channels. There, I saw the news channel.
I *never* used this. It was a neat idea, but if I was in a place to use my Wii, I had internet and news already. But, it got me to thinking - how about a News Channel for the 3DS? It could use Spot Pass to deliver updates to your 3DS whenever it has a connection and allow you to read the new articles whenever you have time - even without an internet connection.
Obviously, this isn't likely to have breaking stories or such, but if AP or Reuters could get on board, this could be pretty spiffy.
