On The Gadget Show tonight, they had a top 10 gadgets of all time and after they looked at some things that could be future greats.
1st up was the PSP and the DS. They completely slated the DS, they said it had 2 screens and was by Nintendo but they failed to mention the touch-screen, microphone and wireless connections.They also said it looked and felt cheap, which
I suppose is sort-of true.
However, they said the PSP had wireless connection and looked amazing, they then plunged into the Sony fanboy realms of topscore and macintosh and continued to say how great it is(n't) and that everyone will want one.
Methinks Sony gave five some extra pocket money this week.

As the DS is the 'third pillar' in the Nintendo range. The GBA2 should be the one for graphics.. if it's that much of a concern.
Suck my balls, Dave.
Anyway, who cares?

I can't see the stylus & touch screen making that much difference. I dont think the system has the processing power or screen quality to drive the "future" games that so many people want. I think that as a result, although more games will make use of the stylus & touch screen, most (if not all) will be short games based on cartoon enviroments with a limit to what you can do and where you can go. In other words, they may use a stylus, but that alone will be the only attraction, which alone is not enough to rule the world. Kinda like of a graphics package on a top line PC but having only a floppy disc drive to save stuff too, no hard disc or cd.
