1up.com — Miyamoto and Iwata have hinted at a final secret for Wii that has yet to be revealed. And while we're sworn to secrecy, 1UP knows what this secret is -- and it's rather revolutionary. In fact, it's perhaps the most intriguing element of the system -- something with some rather cool implications for gaming.

Nintendo licensed portions of PalmSource's PalmOS for their future consoles. In what way is powering off a PalmOS device different from powering off a device like an Gameboy or PSP?

@dvddesignEh, still disagree, even more strongly. It's not "pronounceable" in my book if its "transliterated". Better to use something that just reads well. I don't think a Japanese company should diss its own people on the naming front, unless its got a really good reason. Console names aren't all that relevant in the end. I think the global zeitgeist is on the side of miniaturization. As such, "Wii" probably has such duel meaning it screams success. --Then again, given the phallo-centric gaming culture, it comes off as the most sexually charged and cruelly twisted name we've seen in a long time. Somehow, I see parents bursting out into tears of laughter or outrage the day their sons and daughter report that they're going over a friends house to play with their Wii.No matter how you look at it, this name we be burned in all our skulls before too long. "Revolution" is an "also-ran" name by comparison.
