The interesting question is whether or not Nintendo intend the tablet to be a standalone entertainment device in addition to just a peripheral. If the thing has built-in Wifi and its own simple processor/memory/OS,  good enough to play NES/SNES style games and simple apps like a web-browser and media player, the split in price could be even bigger...

That's a frightening prospect considering how Nintendo has treated multimedia on the 3DS.

I don't own one... What's so terrible about it that can't be fixed with a software update?
