Well Joystiq sure are impressed, but me? Not... as impressed. Really data can take any form you want, and a series of noises is one of them.
My main issue is the question of why bother? The DS has wi-fi, which I would imagine could transfer it more reliably, at greater distance, and possibly more quickly than this ever will. The sound can't be pleasent to listen to so that can't be it. It seems like a gimic for gimic's sake.

"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)
