So I noticed this little girl messing around with her dad's PDA...or a language translator...I wasn't sure, but that's what I thought. I didn't expect it do be a DS as the edge of the case where it opens is pretty thin; I was expecting it to have a more rounded edge.

I noted that you can't see what's on the screen at all from the side; I just took two sideways glances going past (had to run some errand or other so I passed twice) from a slight distance. Those who're considering buying a DS for the ability to send naughty pen pictures have nothing to worry about!

Finally, she was using headphones and playing it just like a GBA - no stylus.

Didn't ask if there were any dead pixels LOL All in all, it was cool to see but I had hoped I'd get more out of my first time spotting one of 'em.

You know, it's strange. I'm on a college campus, with thousands of students, and I'm a computer science major, and somehow I have yet to see someone with a DS other than me. Gameboy sightings are only very slightly more numerous. How odd...

It's not even out here yet and I've already seen a few people on trains with DS units...
