Now I understand

Nintendo DS.

You know you want it.

I couldn’t figure out for the life of me how they were going to do dual screens in a handheld and make it sensible. I didn’t know how they were going to go up against Sony and the PSP. I made the mistake of underestimating Nintendo.

As incredibly cool as the Game Boy Advance SP was, this is that much cooler. The idea of two stacked screens, and hardware 3D capabilities somewhere between a Nintendo 64 and a Gamecube – amazing. Wonder what it will have for battery life.

The DS also does wireless networking – no more link cable across the aisle on the plane!

I can’t wait. I’ll probably be buying one the first day it’s out. I’m such a shill.
