The advanced features of the Nintendo DS have revolutionized the gaming world. Weighing in at just 275 grams, the DS packs a lot of technology in a small package. It supports IEEE 802.11 WiFi standards, allowing gamers to interact with one another. The built-in microphone and camera support both vocal communications and a unique function called PictoChat, where users can “paint chat” with one another.
The DS’s lithium-ion battery supports up to 10 hours of uninterrupted game time on a four-hour charge, and basic features such as calendar and schedular functions are built right into the firmware.
The Nintendo DS has quickly become a favorite, not just with the underage set, but with adults as well. And since the DS has additional capabilities, such as DVD movie and music playback, it will surely be enjoyed for years to come.
