Nintendo plans to launch a new version of its popular DS portable gaming device with a camera and music player function, according to a report in the Sunday edition of The Nikkei Business Daily. The new version will have better wireless capability for connecting to the Internet and will cost under $189, the report said. It will be offered first in Japan, it said. The DS first went on sale in 2004, and a second version, called the DS Lite, debuted two years later in 2006. Both have sold extremely well, with worldwide sales of the DS products at 77.5 million units as of the end of June this year."

I somehow doubt that many people are buying these addon cards for Video. I mean, does anyone really watch movies on that tiny screen?

I can't wait for the MP3 Blender. Then I can have it play You Spin Me Round (Like a Record) while I blend!

Yeah, but Will It Blend? Hmmm, that'd make for an interesting showdown--can a Blendtec devour a lesser blender?
