Could work as a trojan to get Nintendo characters into people's life early on. The software has to be above Mario is Missing level for it to have a chance though.

That's what I thought as well.

Nintendo could use a tablet like this to lure kids to their IP's. If done right and they succeed it could be brilliant!!

It could backfire on Nintendo if that was their plan. The kid, or parent, will ask "Why should I spend another couple hundred dollarson a new system to Mario games? Why can't you just release it on the tablet?".

Well, my thinking is, that IF Nintendo released a Educational tablet it would be to test the waters, and to lure in a new audience. And I'm pretty sure they'd make a tablet that was gaming centric - NOT like iPad and/or the Androids. It could be a third pillar for them, maybe only releasing old games on it, like the NES and SNES libraries
