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!"

Wow, too bad we can't put GPS on it, and make a MMPRPG that maps to the real world!... so as you walk around the real world, you have a "window" into the game... so I see you have one, and we can do battle, or some such... put some "god" users to walk around and create the world (like tunnels where there are real subways, etc.) Sort of a geocaching+multiplayer... now all you need is a pair of HUD glasses to make a completely nerd-immersion game! And you could "disoconnect" the map so you can wander around without needing to actually walk anywhere. That could be really cool.
