The GBA movie player does NOT play mp3s. It plays its own proprietary format. The same with movies. And besides, it does not use any of the DS's functions, like the touch screen.

I can not use my DS to play multiplayer GBA games and I can not use it as a controller in Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles.
It does not play divx movies or mp3 music. It plays its own format, with the file extensions gbs for sound and gbm for movies. And a movie is split into a video file and an audio file when it is converted. The converter can take any files you have a directshow filter for as input. The encoder is unfortunately very slow.
What good is it as an OS if you can't add various hardware (scanners, cameras, wireless ethernet, etc.) without expecting it to suddenly become unstable?

I posted a feature request to the Opera user forums, and the future Opera way might be better than the method on my page. At the very least for IDNs.
Opera will only show a localized version of a domain name if the top level domain has a strict policy on the form of domain names. And Opera automatically converts all domain names to lower case, so the "capital i as lover case L" trick does not work quite as well.

How is the DS any less proprietary than the PSP?

So no, it does not do (all) the job of a GBA.
know what buttons to push to get players interested.
Let me guess, it's the "release a gaming system, then release no games for six months" -button?
First: it has been mentioned, in the article, no less. Second: it's not that obvious.
As limited as the Nintendo DS's library is, the games do offer a genuinely new experience.
The only two interesting games for the DS are Super Mario 64 and Wario Ware touched. Neither offers a genuinely new experience.

Why is everyone ignoring the fact the touch screen can be used just like an analog stick?
It's not just like an analog controller. You get no tactile feedback.
More like miniFir.
