Egads. Nintendo's handheld machine has always featured some really out-there applications, from cameras to TV remote controls to diabetes glucose counters, but this one really takes the Oscar for most entertaining use of the portable games console. It's a movie player that transforms your GBA into a very small cinema screen, using compact flash cards (like you'd find in a digital camera, a PDA or some discerning PCs) to play music, watch the latest blockbuster, read eBooks and re-visit Nintendo (and others') retro games. To date, it's only available in Japan. We may have to wait until the rival PSP allows us Westerners to experience Hollywood in the palms of our hands.
Neat-o. What's next? A virtual kitchen sink?
