Hmmm! Interesting concept! I wonder if it will come under the same legislation that mobile phones have to make a noise when the shutter is operated or is Nintendo opening up a whole new avenue for upskirt perves?

I own a DS portable. Yet every DS game sold here in Au is targeted at someone aged 6-9 years old...and I cannot see the value in adding camera capability

It seems that it has a sot for SD cards but not for GBA cards so it will not be backwards compatible.

When is the DS phone coming out? It should give the iPhone a run for its money.

Stanoue- not targeted at children, Japanese people like to act like children, or havent you ever noticed? The women, even when they are 80 still think they are cute like a 20 year old. Then men live with their mothers until they are 35. Thats why it appears as though the target audience might be children.

The wifi & cam means Mom & Dad can monitor their child.
