i don't thinkthe iphone is going to challenge nintendo,especially not for the games!for a start the iphone and the nintendo ds are two completly different machines,nintendo for playing games and thats why people buy them,i mean if i owned an iphone i would not suddenly think "oh great now i don't have to buy a nintendo ds!" i just don't put them in the same catagory.

THREE YEARS ago the price was higher at $149.99. But for the past 2 years retail has been $129.99 for a Nintendo DS system. You may google a higher price because of game bundles, limited editions, or OLD results.

[...] Nintendo Nintendo has a long history of portable computing with its Gameboy line. A lot has changed from the black and white low resolution LCD with a cross controller and two buttons and a cable to connect two devices together. Nintendo now sports a wireless bluetooth connection and could easily morph it’s next installment with a WiFi and cellular mobile connectivity. Network gaming as well as downloading software from a service can also be benefits to encourage addiction. While they seem like an unlikely candidate to build a mobile phone, I am sure it is on someone’s whiteboard and roadmap at Nintendo. The active development platform is geared towards gaming, but could easily be opened up for application development. A few weeks ago, on GigaOM shared some similar thinking: But now comes the iPhone, loaded with features and still riding heavy buzz, pushing into the game space, Nintendo’s territory. How should they respond? Well, the DS already comes equipped with a microphone and wireless connectivity; add a Skype-type application, and the two systems would be in more direct competition. (With lower price and greater install base giving DS the edge.) Source: GigaOM: Nintendo DS and iPhone on a collision course [...]

Sure, the iPhone game functionality may be added, but it’ll be the same dumb games available for purchase on iTunes.

"Nintendo DS are $130 retail"

Hmm, it Googles up first as $170-$199, but you're definitely right better deals can be had.

There might be some patent conflicts but I don’t see these products competing in the market. They have only a superficial similarity. The iPhone is many things but it is not a game platform. It might gain a few incidental games. The DS is a game platform. It might gain some incidental voice capability but that is far from making it into a platform like the iPhone.
