Listen To Your Game Boy Advance
filmsmith writes "It looks like Nintendo may be interested in using the GBA to enter the PDA market and even considering itself competition for the Apple iPod. It smells of DMCA pandering, though. 'It looks like protection will be in place to ensure that even content recorded by users (through the use of a special adapter) will not be able to be shared with other users.' Planet Gamecube has the article here."
Think what we could do with a beowulf cluster of those (sorry, i couldn't resist)

Seriously though, it looks interesting -- the GBA is a nice little piece of hardware
"Eventually, the company hopes that this technology can be used for study aids, advertisements, museum guides, or digital comic books..."
If they market the thing along those lines, I bet we'll be looking back next year saying 'What was that stupid game boy trick they were trying to pass off on us last year...?'
Chaos, panic, disorder...my work here is done.
Aww.. kickass.. Now I can listen to a Zelda remix.... while I play the Zelda remake...
"...content recorded by users (through the use of a special adapter) will not be able to be shared with other users."

Ah yes, the 'cone of silence'...how unique
Listen to your Game Boy Advance...
It's trying to tell you something...
Listen closely and you can hear it...
It's saying:
"You were actually stupid enough to buy an MP3 player addon for your gameboy? Hah!"
