    i like the older games part,

    but i doubt this will keep selling since all of its capabilities are matched by smartphones.

    (I.e psp sales sucking right now)

    @Shirkk: Erik, if you think that Apple can compete with Nintendo in the portable gaming area, you're certifiably insane.


    Next month is the 20th Anniversary of the Gameboy and to date has sold over 100 million DS units worldwide. Saying that the iPhone is anywhere near that is like saying that Prussia poses a significant nuclear threat to American interests on Mars.

    @OMG! Ponies!: He said smartphones and nothing about Apple or the iphone specifically.


    The only area that smartphones don't match the DSi is gaming. Most of its other functions are at least matched (or exceeded) by smartphones.

    @milrtime83: It's Erik (aka Pwnage/TechFanErik/AppleUsersFollowMe/iAirmanshirk/, etc.) who has been banned about a dozen times in the last year. All he talks about is Apple.


    The DSi's only function is portable gaming. So yes, smartphones are all better than a DSi when it comes to call quality, service coverage, usability as a day planner, sending and receiving email, etc.


    Similarly, lime jello tastes better than a DSi. Then again, lime jello is food and is meant to taste good.


    As stated, in 4 years, the DS line has topped 100m units. Not the Gameboy line - the DS line. Nintendo does portable gaming and it does it well, proven by two decades of success in the portables market.


    Apple, on the other hand, has some image problems arising from the iFart apps and single-use programs. There is poor QC in the app department.


    Finally, Erik - there's a betting pool on how long until you get yourself banned again. My money is on 4/15/2009.

    I understand that you can download things to physical media like Office, but what if i decide to purchase a game. Will I be able to copy that to disk and play it at a buddies, or am doomed to play it off my HDD forever?

    @Joker10: I know with Steam there is a backup option to copy any of your games from hard disk to cd/dvd. I don't own any Microsoft games, but I don't see why you couldn't do it with theirs either.

    I say media should be given out almost freely. It's the license that you have to purchase.

    Wouldn't you have to burn it to a CD anyway to install it? Seriously, you need it on a disk to install it anyways. Unless this is meant as an "upgrade" type of thing were you buy it and install it from within a current windows installation. I'm thinking you can most likely burn it to a disk to hold on to it.

    You know, when you download software you could always burn it do a DVD. That option does exist... or can you not do that in Vista?
