5 hours of non stop gaming would be great. I am hoping to be able to stream music over 4G to a Bluetooth headset or Speaker for 8 hours a day, while being able to recieve calls and text, and have enough juice to game during the 1 hour of breaks I get. If I can do that everyday, and only have to plug in when I hit the car for the drive home then I will be more than happy.

The 12th of January can't come soon enough. I hope I can finally be rid of these P.O.S. Me Too ios and android slabs once and for all.

I don't see it doing calls and texts along with wireless music streams tbh. I think Nintendo want it to be a hyrbid gaming console. Not a tablet that already exists for Skype and music.

Yeah, just have to wait and see. I am holding out hope that they will at least offer a 4G version. I don't see how a device can even exist in todays market without video and music streaming options. As long as they offer voice and text chat via a Nintendo App for ios and android, then I can get by, just like I do with Vita right now. Ultimatly, I would like a Vita or Switch like device from Sony, Nintendo, or Microsoft that had full phone support so I could get my home security without needing another phone, and I would have a safe avenue to make emergency calls.

At the end of the day I see little value in a non 3G/4G mobile device, and I see zero value in a device that has no buttons or joysticks. So there is nothing on the market currently that I feel deserves any of my money. I am really, really hoping Nintendo can finally deliver the product that Vita should have evolved into with a 4G and Phone model in its 2nd or 3rd year.
