PocketMatrix

peek a boo
I tried one out at a demo last weekend, they hooked us up wirelessly to other people trying it out in metroid, and of course I kicked some ass, largely thanks to my experience with GFdoom and my sweet skin config

I dont quite see how people dont like its looks, when I saw it in person it acctually looked better and smaller than I expected (yeah I usually expect the worst). One thing that I was really hoping for was for it to replace my old Axim x5, but it doesent seem like it has much PDA capabilities yet, hopefully in the future.

When I look at the specs, and all the hardware features, and the price, man it makes me think of how it blows my PDA away in every catagory, Microsoft should make a PocketPC DS version or something, man would that kill.

For those who dont know there is a thumbstrap that Nintendo designed that can be used for added comfort. I would definatly take this and use it for my PDA as I hate busting out my stylus. This reportedly make games like Metroid way more comfortable to play.



*edit I see that mechanori beat me to it.

It's a pain in the ass, I'd rather those condomy looking finger styli things.

Well, we're getting my 8 year old daughter a DS for Christmas this year. The thing that really did it is the Nintendogs game. My daughter (and wife) are enthralled by that game. It is rather cute.
