My parents had a box that would look at subtitles and mute the audio for curse words. It actually worked really well, but only input and output analog audio.

It will only be an impulse buy if the games that come out with it are compelling.

Okay, a couple others:

The EmoKey pushes itself just to feel.

The EmoKey is not functional, because it is always "depressed."

I've seen this guy on message boards.

Well, I suppose that in the console space, it is generally better to wait until a full generation is complete anyway. With handhelds, a new form factor and bigger screens make sense. Adding graphical horsepower would mean programming games differently and segmenting the market.

Since the beginning, they've said HD would be part of their next console when HDTV penetration has reached a more significant percentage. Wii 2 it is. Wii HD just doesn't seem to be in the cards. Really, Wii Motion Plus could be considered the mid-lifecycle upgrade anyway.

Looks kinda like a Marvel supervillain cane. Perhaps this villain can zap average electronics and make the price skyrocket!

That just doesn't seem like a good idea. My standard GPS distracts me too much as it is. Maybe pop one in the back for the passengers instead.

I like it, though I think I like the white one more. The black one just looks a bit too much like every other gadget sitting by the TV.

Cool that they have niche options for people that want it. I would like one for home, actually, but it is not in my budget.

It's just another option, ala the GBA micro. I don't see anything to complain about. Dell makes bigger laptops than I would ever want too, but some people love them. The main thing for me is the DS collection of games, which is almost mind bogglingly good and continues to grow. Why? Because so many people have the DS and developers feel safe putting a lot of time and money into making substantial games for the platform. It's pretty good all around.
