Do you think consoles will ever have WAP? The Gameboy is just a bit bigger than a normal WAP mobile phone, it would be really handy to be able to exchange Pokemon without the need of a link cable because then you could exchange with anyone anywhere.
Now we have the GBA, bigger than the Gameboy, room there surely to add in a mobile phone somewhere, or a small onscreen dialler that you could punch the numbers in with a lightpen. Then you could ring up your mates and transfer across a spare item that you picked up in one of the Mario games that your mate needs to get through a level, and when he's finished with it, he could send it back, even though he's currently on holiday on the other side of the world.
How about the X-Box. WAP access would be a great feature, as long as they upgrade the WAP that is currently used to access the full internet and not just the text based items that it currently only has access to. Bill? You reading this?
I can see consoles proving a bit tricky, because internet access is already planned through a fixed line, so WAP may be redundant here. But with the GBA? Surely with Sega already developing games for the next generation of Motorola phones, Nintendo have missed out to develop not just a good handheld, but a handheld the like of which has never been seen before, one that just doesn't play games but can be used as a communication tool as well.
Maybe we'll see it when the GBRA comes out.
The Gameboy Really Advanced...

Nah the GBA can't do all that, but does it matter if we can still play SNES conversions and new games?
Still we get 4 player link up and hopefully internet play to cover that patch, so we don't need it to be a mobile phone really.
