Who needs a PSP which drains batteries in just a few short hours, or an N-Gage, which let's face it, the most ill-conceived design for a piece of hardware, since someone stuck an aerial to a shoe, and called it a mobile. Anyway, who else can't wait for the Nintendo DS, and it you were designing a game for the console, how would you utilise the two screens?

It is true but I have a feeling that the DS won't be marketed as a gaming device on the Go like the Gameboy...

It'll be too much competing with eachother... The DS is going to sell or not sell on it's unique ideas... it could make a million or flop... either way it'll be good.

Rechargable batteries are a great idea, after all, everyone was buying those battery packs anyway.

With a car adaptor, it would be the perfect travel companion.

Nintendo use an Ion-rechargable battery and I guess Sony will use the same.

It sounds like a great idea, the possibilities are endless...

I just hope the idea catches on with the mass market... and more to the point doesn't damage the sales to the billion earning Gameboy series.

Talking of which... the two screens will probably drain the batteries more than the PSP will! :-S
