Send to email | Iwata: DSi not competing with cell phones, iPod in dsiipodiwata | By Griffin McElroy el 01-Mar-2009 | Filed under: Business
Foto 0 en Iwata: DSi not competing with cell phones, iPod: Paste this image in your site, Myspace, Facebook, Ebay copy this code...

Though the DSi's inclusion of music playback functionality and a digital camera may make it seem like Nintendo is attempting to compete with other multimedia devices (particularly ones whose brand names begin with a lowercase 'i'), this really isn't the case. At least, that's the sentiment of Nintendo president Satoru Iwata, who recently talked up the re-redesigned handheld in the latest installment of "Iwata Asks."
Reaffirming a similar statement made around the announcement of the DSi, Iwata said Nintendo "doesn't have any intention of directly competing with existing products" such as cell phones or iPods, adding that the media has a tendency to make up inter-corporate rivalries that don't really exist (Panasonic vs. Atari! More at 11!). Sounds like Nintendo, the undeniable big fish in the small pond of handheld gaming, is hesitant to enter the vast, lucrative ocean of multimedia gadgetry.

| One-third of Americans would give up sex before their cell phones [infographic] | A recent survey found that 33% of Americans would sooner give up sex for a week than go without their mobile phones for the same period of time. Navigation software leader Telenav surveyed 514 mobile phone users in the U.S. last month to find out how willing they were to give up certain things ahead of their cell phones. Respondents were most willing to part with alcohol instead of their phones, w [..] Read complete article |  | Published 03-Aug-2011 by Zach Epstein in MobileCell phonesmobile phonesreliancesexSmartphonessurveytelenav Read 7 times.
