I am more concerned about (someone else already said it) the size. All right, CDs are way big, and they don't fit my pockets. But MDs do. Also, anything smaller than 2/3 the size of a smartmedia card is way too small. It is quite easy to lose the Palm's memory cards and they're not even close to "fingernail size". Personally, I'd lose anything smaller than a credit card... (that's why I never take the smartmedia card out of my synthesizer, except to transport it, always inside its plastic (big bold one) cover).
About the memory size, I think also that'd be great for digital cameras but the fact it is not rewritable would make costs so high (CD-R,RW are cheap, and also DVD-R) that it'd make it very slow to fit in the market.
Last, and I think the most important: Are these fingernail size memory devices recyclable? Are they more or less durable-waste than CD-R? Has anyone made any environmental-effect study on the use of such technology?
(God please, make it be recyclable!)
Considering the internal architecture of the Gamecube and the former n64, I'd expect a G5, MacOS X 10.3 (panther) based console, where the games would run over either aqua or XDarwin. Also, new available devices such as USB keyboards and mice and an in-board ethernet card would be available. The ATI graphics card seems to be already popular among PPC (mac, camecube) machines so I'd expect nothing less than the top-of-the-line ATI card.
Of course, for the sound device, it should be no less than the equivalent of a Korg Triton Rack or a Yamaha motif rack. Optical sound output is a must. Who doesn't have his/her gamecube conneted to some S/PDIF-capable receiver?
Controls should include the already successfgull desing for the original gamecuge but also mind-controlled devices, so you can at last beat andross without getting the pain in yout thumbs:)

this is just great! Now MS can decide what can I see and what not when using IE! that's the best thing a user's freedom could expect!

Just can't figure out how does law work in the US. The whole liar... lawyer's argument seems completely ludicrous to me.
