for the record this is the android.

 

I don't get why so many people think Nintendo is going into the mobile phone business or even microcomputer business.

 

Consoles != PC so would would a portable console = a portable a PC?... well the PS3 is kind of PCish though, but it's totally not up to the same stuff a PC is.

 

well that's the first G1 an just one of the 36+ android OS based devices..

I don't think myself that Nintendo would go into the cellphone or Microcomputer business as you would say.

since they do not have to be since other companies have done it for them. did you know the Gameboy Advance an Advance SP had a phone adapter!

example:

GameBoy Phone Home

Got a Nintendo GameBoy Advance? Instead of a videogame cartridge, clip on a Campho Advance from Digital Act, and turn your handheld gaming device into a videophone - complete with digital camera, microphone and earpiece.

For now, connections are via a regular phone jack - broadband and wireless connections are in the works. The GameBoy display streams live video of the person on the other end of the line, with your own image in a corner of the display.

Naturally, the other person requires a similar setup. And, for now, you both need to live in Japan, as developers aren't saying when (or if) they'll sell the Campho Advance overseas.
