Has anyone seen the new Nintendo Gameboy XL? It has a distinct tablet feel with it's full size pen. It makes me think Nintendo is going for the young game players with an approach similar to iphone to the adults. It's a freaking netbook! It's also pretty soon for an update to the DSi.

That was my understanding as well. I like my DS Lite but I find it difficult and uncomfortable to use because of its size and staring at the tiny screens always results in eye strain. The DSi XL looks like it may solve those problems but I still don't think I'll be buying one though. The only handheld I care about right now is the Pandora.Richard James wrote:I though that one of the main reasons for the larger screen was to make it easier for older people to read.
Edit: Will the same linkers work in the DSi XL as the DS Lite? I know they work with the DSi but Nintendo is forever trying to lock these things out.
In the end it will be as if nothing ever happened.
Truth be told, the handhelds I've spent the most time playing with and enjoyed the most were Palms/Clies. My Palm TX is on the fritz right now and it's bumming me out. I'm debating whether I should spend the money to get a new digitizer or buy a Nokia N810 to run the emulator.
I know it will never happen but my dream is that I could run Palm software on the iPhone. That would be fantastic.

There must be a sanitized version for the iPhone. I remember a few versions where the theme was changed but everything else was the same. I found myself with a little addiction to a version called SolarWars which was sort of a DopeWars meets Space Empire Elite hybrid.
Ever thought about doing a VIC-20 version of DopeWars?
