By the end of this year, Nintendo will debut a new version of its DS handheld console that plays music and is equipped with a camera and advanced wireless functions.This would put the new DS in direct competition with such well-entrenched devices as the Apple iPod and camera-equipped mobile phones.
The price for the new machine is expected to be below 20,000 yen ($189) in Japan, compared with 16,800 yen ($158) for the current model.
Now I wonder what Sony and other folks have up their sleeves in this very, very competitive market segment?
