Gameboy Advance Users to Get Bluetooth Internet
AEton writes "According to this Extremetech article, X-Tra Fun has developed a Bluetooth module for the Gameboy Advance which is expected to ship by Christmas 2003. The $49 module includes Bluetooth connectivity, although a cellphone or other Bluetooth device with Internet access is required to use the Internet, and it comes with an embedded eCos Linux kernel with a Web browser and 255 pages' worth of cache. A $99 upgrade adds a Secure Digital card slot and a dongle!"
...for all those n00bs who can't get past the first level... easy GameFAQs access!
When you don't have a leg to stand on, don't even get up.
Finally, porn on the gameboy!
Thank Jebus.
So now we can have Mobile Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games, and geeks can get a tan!
Nothing from nowhere I'm no one at all
It kinda looks like a PDA done with the interface of Blades of Steel (circa 1991).
Yet there is still no option to get a 1/8" earphone plug to enjoy those games / web pages silently? Imagine getting on Hamsterdance by mistake and everyone looking at you?
In Canada, we don't fancy things like socks
With all the add-ons (attached to cell phone, dongle etc.) I have a mental image of this all looking something like that bug removal device from The Matrix. You can probably even plug it into the car cigarette lighter...
Freedom: "I won't!"
FINALLY! I can win in an online game.
I challenge any of those 14 year-old kids who own me in CS to face me in . . . Tetris!
Muwahahahaha!!!
How cool...I can setup a wireless lan to my Laptop and setup and setup my new $700 dollar blue tooth enabled Ipaq to take forwarded packets from the bluetooth on the Laptop -- and then forward the packets so I can browse the web in real style on my Gameboy. Cool -- Every generation gets you a smaller screen and less disk space.....Now only if I could forward the packets from my gameboy to my cellphone....Hot damn -- I need to get me one of them new fangled blue tooth enabled cellphones...and then the circle of degradation and the quest for the smallest screen and suckiest input method will be complete.
(+1 Funny) only if I laugh out loud.
Without the backlight screen, I might just be able to read games.slashdot.org without getting a headache!
This is gonna be great!
That equates to roughly 18 pictures of color pron!

Its not so bad that I am bought and sold, but that I am not even sold alone, I am bundled with something else.

Actual quote from an 8 year old GBA player:
Dammit! I was just about to catch the last pokémon, when all of a sudden the screen started flashing and it said "If this banner is flashing, you've won!" So I pushed A, and it closed, then something that looked like a window popped up and said my computer is broadcasting an IP address! Haha those fools, I'm not even on a computer, and I don't gotta pee! So I pressed A and closed it. Then after that I saw a girl spread her legs, and that's when my Mom took away my gameboy, and now it's illegal to own one in 48 states.
And they have a stupid .wav audio clip of a gunshot for no goddamnned reason. This is almost as bad a site as Homer Simpson's "Mr. X".
Just because you can mod me down, doesn't mean you're right. Shoes for industry!
