Hardware Update

Meet the Nintendo DSi. It now has 2 cameras and an SD card slot. The picture Nintendo released looks weird. It looks like a mock-up or some kind of fan made rendering. But why would Nintedno release new hardware (for the third time) yet again. My guess is it was time Nintendo added memory to their handhelds, and they feared falling behind to Sony since the PSP had memory since its release. A lot of talk of Sony’s new handheld which would likely launch by 2010, points to hardrive ready hardware. Messin’ with memory cards is so 5-years ago. Partly thanks to ipods,  its all about on hard drives, and GIG’s  now. For whatever reason, Nintendo thought it was neccessary to infom their US fans about new hardware, thats now out in Japan, only to find out it will ship months from now. On the other hand, how long could they have kept the secret that there is a new DS and It had already been released on the other side of the world. Its a big world but its not that big.
