I'm sure this will be quite popular.

So basically, it's a portable Netflix. I think it'll catch on pretty well. However, I think more people will be using smart phones for these sorts of functions than portable gaming devices. Honestly, I never thought I'd see the day when AT&T and Nintendo would become market rivals... but then, I could've said the same thing about Nintendo and Microsoft ten years ago, and Nintendo and Sony seventeen years ago.

If I had to define this era's technology in one word, that word would be "everything." Techie companies are trying more and more to create devices that can do anything and everything under the sun, to the point where a device's primary function is almost lost in a pile of mostly novelty-based apps.
