I'll give this to Nintendo --
No other game company on Earth knows how to recycle and repackage old hardware better than the Big N!
Still, some of these new DSi applications sound interesting.
A bit more of a Japanese thing, yeah, but I could see a couple of people doing things with that.
UPDATE:
Looked at the video link and ---
I take it back -- that IS a neat software application!
That has to be the cheapest digital lightbox I've seen! Might be more limited than a Cintiq, but definitely 20 times cheaper!
I wonder if these animations can be ported to other platforms? You would think they could at least be saved as GIF animations if not WMV or QuickTime files...
UPDATE @ 4:00 EST 1 Mar 2009: If there's anything I'm really impressed by in media and people, it's cleverness and novelty.
We haven't had a lot of that in a while.
THIS is definitely both clever and novel. Why didn't anybody else think to do this before?
