Great image. I'm imagining him saying, "What up bitches? Yeah that's right, running Windows CE. You wanna make something of it? Huh? Well do ya? Yeah, that's what I thought punk. Don't F with me. I'll cut you man!" #nvidiatablet
"What? Are you trying to talk smack about my lappie? Because it sounds like you are. Don't piss me off, pal. I'm 130 pounds of Asian fury.
It's bad enough that you make fun of my receding hairline. You can't just come into Conference Room F and talk like a bitch about the capacitive touchscreen. Mess with me and you'll be in a world of hurt. I drank 2 cans of Red Bull this morning and am on my third K-cup of Jet Fuel.
I swear to God that if you make one more Windows CE joke, I will shove my fist so far up your ass you'll be tasting hand lotion for a week."

Why does this have a big Apple tablet stamp? I mean aside from the previous article where the guy <3's Apple it seems very much detached from the whole mess of Apple tablet rumours.
Especially if that credible tipsters correct and it'll end up running Windows or Android. #nvidiatablet
@Hearthatvoiceagain:
Well it still has a tenuous link to Apple following on from the previous article. However the #appletablet tag and the appletablet banner that was originally accompanying this story are gone. #nvidiatablet
Man, if the current platform can be paired with decent graphics and HD video, that'll put the DS more toe-to-toe capabilities-wise with the PSP.
Software, though... Bratz HD isn't exactly something to look forward to. Let's hope that devs will be hooked to make more games aimed at older audiences.
@Caeruleas: Yes, there is crap stuff on the DS, but seriously, if you like certain types of games (read: old-school RPGs), the DS is a gold-mine.
New Pokemon, new FF Tactics, new Suikoden, remakes of Dragon Quests and the 2D FFs and Disgaea, rereleased Chrono Trigger, Valkyrie Profile, The World Ends With You, Mario & Luigi RPG, three different Tales games (though none in the US grr), etc.
It may not have the 3D guts to pull off FPSes or other 3D games as well as the PSP, but it has a respectable library with more big name turn-based RPGs than anything else this generation (mostly because the PS3 and XBox haven't had too many RPGs, but still).
Obviously, if you're hacking your PSP to play PS1 games, you can get a bigger game library, but I don't think the DS has suffered the lack of good core games nearly as badly as the Wii has.
This comment confuses me. On the one hand, anyone with half a brain knows that the DS platform is way above and beyond the PSP brand. On the other hand, it just seems like you have no idea what you're talking about.
@CustomFirmware: For widescreen, depending on what screen ratio Nintendo goes with, there's several good options:
624x390 for 16:10
704x396 for 16:9
650x390 for whatever ratio 800x480 is
576x384 for 3:2
All the above have screen hieghts that are close or the same as 2x of the DS, making it optimal for backwards compatibility (390 pixels gets 3-pixal black bars and 396 gets 6-pixel black bars)
Though for all we know the next DS could have a single flexible/foldable OLED screen (which would be awesome btw)
So, it's going to have a very vocal but also very small group of users who will be up in arms when Nvidia cancels the line in 8 months and will yell at Nvidia until they finally relent and release a full laptop follow-up with all the bells and whistles and a dead Wash?

But not the psp2.
They might be one step behind for a while. They seem comfortable with it.
