I feel like phone games definitely have their place in the casual gaming market. (I find myself playing Sonic the Hedgehog on my Sidekick every now and then.) But I don't feel like a convergence device that will really compete with other handheld systems will emerge because hardcore gamers are always looking for (and willing to pay for) the best specs and features (button placement, functions, etc) for gaming, and when you have devices made specifically for gaming, it would be hard for a device handling other functions to really compete. I don't think the iPhone really would appeal to hardcore gamers because, as others have mentioned, it's lack of buttons. It's really not that difficult to carry around a couple devices. (Then again, I'm a girl and used to carrying around tons of stuff in my purse XP)

I'd probably get an Eevee or Vaporeon etched on my DS (although a light or dark blue DS would probably be better for Vaporeon than pink XP). Also possibly a pokeball design and my name (Hope).

Very cool! Thanks for answering my question and happy b-day! ^-^

Was the etching done by the DS owner themself or by an profession etching company? It's really cool ^_^

Skins are a good way to go, especially when you have no modding or art skills. ;-; I particularly like http://www.decalgirl.com. I got the leopard print Wii and DS skins from there and they're superb!

Princess Bride seems to play like a combo of Ouendan and a non-physical Para Para Paradise.
