Wow, they certainly are selling out a bit, or, more likely, they just don't have a sense of... what is and is not a good idea...
The headphone jack exists, they applaude that. At the same time, they just glance over the fact that the link cable port, more important, will need an adapter. Gee, is that really objective? The Gameboy Pocket did that too and it took off, but still that's not a good idea.
They talk about the lack of an MP3 function (I have no idea how they got the impression it was even a possibility) as though it's just like Nintendo is keeping silent on that "capability".
Here's another thing. Can it even play GBC or GB games? My guess is no. My guess is that in order to shrink it down as much as possible, the GBC chip in there was removed outright.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
