In addition to the new GBA-SP, Nintendo have announced plans for a brand new GBA. All new design, not just a new case design. What will this new one do that the old one can't, and when do we get it?

Well, I know that today you can pick up a 128MB smartcard for a little over £30.
With that in mind, a little research could see 512MB cards by 2005, which is easilly enough to put a handheld game on. The only issue is how much those cards are likely to cost.
Whatever. No point speculating, since I'm sure Nintendo have their own ideas of what they're going to do, and they're far better informed than I am...

There is so much new tech right now, I can't remember where I saw this. Wireless 2 player games between 2 handhelds. Bluetooth? Price?
flash media cards sounds like a good idea to me. The only issue is price. How many Mb's does a GBA game take up?
I can't believe a new product (i.e. more choice) is looked apon as a bad thing by people. If the games are poop, or it's poorly designed, then don't buy it! Nintendo have treated the handheld market very well indeed for many years (in the UK too).
The GBA SP is a good thing, believe me, I've got one. Only when you use it will you realise what a god-send it is. A clear and easily viewable screen, fantastic design, rechargable bettery pack....
No competition in the portable gaming market isn't true.
The Wonderswan and the GP32 have been successful in Asia, and remain unreleased over here.
Remember the competition includes phones, trading cards etc. too!
I can't understand what the problem is? Do you expect Nintendo to lay-off all their hardware development staff once they've produced a new console? Then wait until the console is crud and re-hire staff to build a new one? Of course not!!
They'll contine with research and development into new technology to design better consoles!
In my opinion, the future of handheld game storage won't be cd in any format - even if it is in a caddy. For a few reasons.
1/ Load times on a portable wont work. Portable gaming is all about quick fixes.
2/ Skipping - even in a caddy.
3/ Disks are big and fragile. Kids will break them running around the playground. Even in a caddy.
The way forward is flash media cards and memory sticks. They could be produced cheaply enough in the future to put upto a gigabyte or more on one card. The GP32 already uses flash media - and is what I expect the new GBA 2 to resemble. The difference is the GBA 2 will have decent games and support.

The frequency of new GB's or GBA's is a bit like waiting for a bus. You don't see one for ages, then lots turn up at the same time. Years ago, we just had the original black & white GB. Eventually, they launched the Color GB and Pocket GB. After a considerable amount of time, out comes the original GBA. But then hot on it's heels is the GBA-SP. If that's not enough, now Nintendo are talking about the "next" GBA.
I really hoped that when I opened this, it would be a topic saying:
Nintendo have recently announced a new GBA, the Gameboy advanced SP!!!!1. I wonder if any of youz guys has any imfo on this lol.
Oh well. I suppose I'll just take the pisc out of Topscore.

They've had "proper" competition in the past, and summarilly swept it aside.
I think Nintendo would be having a very tough time if they had some proper competition in the hand held market right now.
