I think the main complaint I have about it is more in that the way that they want to market the DSi. Something that is being marketed as a planner you would carry around should have a calculator in it. I mean, I could probably write that thing quickly myself. A calculator is one of the very first things you learn to make in a programming class. It just seems odd to me that they give the browser away which they have to pay liscensing fees to Opera for and yet charge for a calculator. Seems backwards. Sorry about that.

I'm just expressing my opinion, that $2 is an inconsequential expense for a purely optional application. Given we're talking about Nitendo of all companies, I'm more surprised it was't 500 points..

They want the thing to become like some kind of pda or whatnot that you carry with you. That being said, when is the last time you ever saw a cellphone, pda, etc that didn't at least come with a stinking calculator built in. I also want to put this quote out there.

Being that they want this to be a device that everybody carries around in their pocket, that is the type of thing that should be free. It would have been more prudent to pack in the calculator and just sell the skins. I still can't believe they want to charge for a calculator.

Should they decide to bring it here, my interest in the DSi will officially be upgraded from "no effin' way" to "maybe if my Lite gets totalled and Lites suddenly become so scarce that you'll have to find one on eBay for more than the price of a DSi, and also Game Boy Micros become dirt cheap around the same time (MAYBE)."

Seems the online infrastructure is in place and easy to work with. Now somebody use it in a genre I like. :) “The Nintendo DSi version also includes online play, local, over Nintendo Wi-Fi and against people playing the game on a Wii.
