This saddens me to no end. Now I will have to bury my GBA out in the backyard and not be able to play all the great games that are coming out this year. Who cares if the GBA was outselling the PSP in Japan recently, its a dying system.
On a more serious note: People who grew up during the SNES era, like myself, eat up GBA SNES ports like nuts. I couldn't have been more thrilled to have Zelda and Mario 3 (NES game, I know, but much nicer graphics) and all on a portable. These are games that are immensely fun to play despite the fact that their graphics are nowhere near current-gen 3D games. And fun is what gameplaying is all about, right?

I guess real physics would kind of kill the experience, wouldn't it? :-P
I disabled Themes and Windows Audio and now my productivity is near zero. Who could work without visual styles and music?!
What a shocker! >sarcasm< Next thing you know they'll announce that Windows Vista won't support XP :-P.>/sarcasm<

Their next project ought to be "Flush our toilet". Flushing at different speeds would certainly be interesting ;-)
Somehow his doesn't really come as much of a surprise and I'd be willing to bet that this isn't the first thing to be dropped...
