Our own man at the scene, Jonny Metts, relayed some thoughts on the Nintendo Press Conference via cell phone.

For those of you that haven't had a chance to watch the direct-feed of Nintendo's E3 Press Conference, our own Jonny Metts was there to pass along these thoughts:

USA Today has an article on the Nintendo Revolution (currently still a code-name), showing a picture of the console.
