Considering what you need to play them and how you play them, the E-cards are definitely a rip-off. If the E-Reader was a small attachment with some memory for saving games then it would be a really awesome device, but as it is it's just wasted potential. And it's too damn big! Certainly not suitable for a handheld system.
Unless they give it away for practically nothing, the IQue will be a complete disaster in the U.S. The whole thing looks like a cheap Chinese console knock-off (how fitting considering the market it was made for) and you can't even play multiplayer games with it (I think). If it is the IQue and that's Nintendo's big plan for combating the PSP (they said the new device would do just that), then Nintendo has really lost their marbles.
