| What the 'i' in Nintendo DSi stands for! | | Hey everyone,Many people have been wondering why on earth Nintendo added the 'i' on Nintendo DS. Some users have been thinking that they want to "copy" Apple and add the letter to their new Portable Handheld devices. But that is far from it. It actually dates back WAY long ago when Nokia first made their mobile phones. Ever remember the older phones such as the Nokia 6610i? Or even the modern phones these days such as the Nokia N95i? Well all the letter 'i' stands for is basically saying that it is a minor improvement from the last handheld. For example, the Nokia N95i is only slightly upgraded in features comparing with the Nokia N95. In the same way the Nintendo DSi also had a minor facelift and hence they added the letter 'i'. This is in MY opinion so I can't guarantee that it is totally true. Hope this helps some people still wondering why they called it Nintendo DSi. | |

And who did he call? It was none other than his rival at AT&T's Bell Labs, Joel Engel, who had been competing with him to create the phone. Cooper commented, “As I walked down the street while talking on the phone, sophisticated New Yorkers gaped at the sight of someone actually moving around while making a phone call.”This first cell phone call caused a fundamental technology and communications market shift toward the person and away from the place. “People want to talk to other people - not a house, or an office, or a car. Given a choice, people will demand the
freedom to communicate wherever they are, unfettered by the infamous copper wire. It is that freedom we sought... | |
