TalkBack / RE:Rumor: Nintendo DS Specs?

You people are getting way ahead of yourselves... DS will NOT be a cell phone/game system. Nintendo saw what happened to the Ngage, it's not stupid. You all talk about how you would gladly have a cell phone gaming system... but as anyone with an Ngage will tell you, it's clumbsy... ugly... and you wouldn't wanna be caught dead talking into it.

The microphone is likely used for playing games over a decent distance or for specific games. It would be really nice to see it support a rewritable standard for media (like SD or CF) for MP3 and such, but that's not likely as it would be easily abused (plus they said the limit is 128MBytes... SD and CF are both a lot larger)

Everyone is off calling gimic... Many of you people seem to have forgotten what people have thought were gimics at one time but have since been huge success.

Stereo speakers used to be thought of as a gimic...
TV's were thought of as a gimic...
later, COLOR TVs were thought of as a gimic...

YES lots of things have been gimics... but unless you actually see the thing and how it works, you may never realize what truly is and isn't a gimic.

*clears throat* *begins to sing* All we are saying... is give DS a chaaaaaaaance!
