No excitement over possiblities of DS-Tegra?

Why is no one talking about this? I guess i missed the threads.

Its rumored that the next nintendo handheld, likely a new Dual Screen device, will feature Nvidia Tegra 2 inside of it

Lets look at Tegra APX 250, the lowest in terms of specs version of Tegra chips, and the oldest one: 600Mhz CPU (better than PSP/GCN but a bit lower than Wii), capable of 720p video, HDMI output. Tegra APX 2600 has 700Mhz CPU putting it on par with Wii, with 166Mhz DDR memory, and then finally the TEGRA 650, the one inside the Zune HD, features an 800Mhz CPU (better than the Wii) and 200Mhz DDR memory and 1080p video

Basically, for people who don't understand computer specs, the Tegra chip in the Zune HD, the current top of the line model, is as powerful as the Nintendo Wii.

It is ideal for smartphones, and things connected to 3G networks (hmm, Nintendo mulling over adding 3G to devices?)

Now the rumors from Digital Foundry say a new Tegra 2 chip will surpass these specs and be the specific chip inside the next DS

Can you guys imagine something as powerful as the Wii, or the iPhone, in a Nintendo handheld?

I for one hope these rumors are true. Apparently, Nvidia just got the contract to put this in the handheld, so i'd say its still a ways off

I'd imagine if its true, they're designing the hardware with its innards already planned, ya know screens, buttons, cameras, etc.

Anyone excited? Do you think this is true do you hope its true?

If you don't want to speculate, then uhhh, don't post? I know its early, and possibly not true. So iff you think its not true, why?

I'd like to add, i imagine a lot of DSi features will make it into this thing

Two cameras of higher MP, bigger screens, SDHC slot, better WiFi (hopefully N)

and of course DSiware will continue on to it

infact, i wouldn't be shocked if this thing was called DSi-(insert something) and not DS-(insert something)

Perhaps DSi evolved?

Additionally, i imagine whatever nex gen handheld comes out will have and use the very same game card slot in a similar situation as how GB/GBC games worked in a GBA slot

so that the DS games still fit into this consoles slot, and so do DSi games, and so will DS(whatever its called) games in the same slot

Probably the slot will support a higher amount of flash memory. I believe the current limit the DS slot reads is 2GBs (not Gigabits) but nintendo never uses over 256MB, i know it reads 2GBs coz, well certain ppl who like changing their consoles have unlocked this just like they unlocked the Wii's 2GB max SD slot to read up to 32GB SDHC cards long before nintendo updated it) It may read higher than this, i dunno just what i've heard

I won't get excited about this until it's confirmed and the battery life estimates arereleased.

sure, if only it was real. before we get excited over the possibilities of something, said thing must exist.BrunoBRS

Pretty much this. No need getting hyped for something that hasn't been announced.

[QUOTE="BrunoBRS"][QUOTE="Will47"] Ya count me in. While I would like this to at one point exist...I'm not getting hyped untill I hear it does.Will47

I'll be excited if and when I hear a concrete announcement. There's no point in being excited over some rumor.
