Leave it to BargainPDA.com to use a review of the Nintendo DS gaming system to prod PDA manufacturers to incorporate more cutting-edge technology. They point out that the Nintendo DS has features like:
- built-in Wi-Fi,
- dual ARM processors,
- dual LCD screens,
- chat collaboration software,
- a stylus, and
- a built-in microphone
… all for a price of around $149. Of course, they can probably afford to price a gaming platform very aggresively because they’re going to make money on the games that customers buy. Hey wait a minute, isn’t that the rationale that the wireless carriers use to subsidize mobile handsets? Hmm….
