This is going to end up like the Gameboy Printer. Remember that? yeah no one really does

i forsee pedophiles buying this more then children will, teenagers really have no need for this with cell phones these days.

rofl at the pedophile comment. I wouldn't be surprised *shudders*... Yep, this will probably be as sucessful as gameboy camera and the gameboy printer. Two of Nintendo's most ingenius products ever to be released in the history of the company.

thats true but this is free to send messages, with cell phones its like 99 cents per message, not to big a deal but after a while it racks up. id buy it just to see what its like.

night, I can't imagine how much of a pain in the butt it would be to type with a game boy advance, because its bad enough on the cell phones.

trek, if I ever find someone selling gameboy camera printer paper I'll be sure to let you know.

nguy, I agree that this, dare I say invention, is rather worthless. It might have been cool 5 years ago or so.

i agree =P
this isn't new technology
you don't see people releasing cell phones that are like 1 ft. tall do you?
no, they serve no point.. you can do everything they can do with something smaller, more powerful, and more usefull

Yes.. I'm so glad we got that cleared up Rolling Eyes

. You know to create good inventions there has to be a fair share of failures too. It's ok... it just happens as a part of the invention process.
