Too bad they didn't trademark DSiPhone...now that would have confirmed the new name for Ninty's real next handheld for sure!

I think nintendo would be silly to make the DS a phone or have pone based apps on there, they would be better to enter the mobile market in a completely new way with new hardware seperate from the DS franchise, no matter how popular portable gaming becomes a dedicated hadheld console/phone would never out do a dedicated phone or a dedicated Console.

its only a matter of time before Sony enters the market with a PSPPhone and how long before MS gives us the portable XBOX Apples phone will have some dominance but he phone is less accessable to people, 50%+ of the DS owners market is "casuals" (skipping the term argument) and how many of them have an Iphone, how many kids can buy an iphone or convince parents to shell for one, even the Payasugo version is more than a PS3!,

Handheld gaming market is going to be fun over the next couple of years, and when apple starts to make money from gaming, how long till they want the home console bite?
