I'm not sure we should get to excited by this... I mean this would drive the price the tablet even further, don't you think ?

it may not drive the price as much as we may think. this isnt exactly new tech.

Perhaps the rumours of the console being underpowered are true, and they plan to balance the cost?

Actually maybe it's the case :(. But IMO they should not worry about the price, if the concept is great it will sell ! So please Big N concession on the specs.

This is a rumor I can get behind. I wonder if Nintendo are also going to implement the Wii Vitality Sensor technology into the controller.

now thats really interesting. after watching the video on their site i really want to try it for myself. no way i can understand what it does without actually feeling it. now, is the tech something that is put on the touchscreen AND in the controller? seems really innovative.
