physorg.com — (AP) -- Ballpark essentials: hot dogs, peanuts, a well-worn glove and ... Nintendo's portable gaming device? The Redmond, Wash.-based company is making a pitch to turn its portable DS Lite into a baseball staple, bringing interactive technology to fans through a pilot program being tested this season at the Mariners' Safeco Field.

Don't blame nintendo for making ppl lazier. They actually came up with the "motion" controls, rather than the typical "sit-on-your-arse" control scheme. Blame sony.

Could it be that a Nintendo product might be the next thing to be absorbed into society as a standard device? It's interface is bitching for games but perhaps it has the range necessary to go mainstream. If Nintendo rebuilt the DS simply with a dedicated harddrive it would instantly become the perfect tool for ANYWHERE. Mainstream culture having a touch screen WiFi device that can interface with any customized software is the last jump to justify every type of WiFi service possible. It completely automates a system that otherwise requires an employee, while guaranteeing a drop in the error percentage. Makes perfect business sense, makes perfect consumer sense. It's no coincidence the iPhone is only the second mainstream touch screen device. Nintendo made that possible, just as they are very likely to make a revolution possible.

If you use this with any sort of regularity, it DOES multiply the cost of the device.

The summary was taken from the AP-written teaser of the story (the one in bold). I'd read the article first before making a statement accusing the submitter of writing the summary.
