i doubt it. but i've always thought they could have their own version of skype with the wii. it's already online with Nintendo Wi-fi Connection... and they already have the Wii speak which captures the sound of the whole room. all they have to do is rip-off an eye-toy and viola! that would finally give me a reason to buy a Wii speak...

Skype would be easy to do on the dsi even skype said its possible nintendo need to start making more apps!

we've already got posting images directly to facebook, so more facebook-based functionality (an app where you could check your Facebook straight from the DSi menu, for example) sounds more logical than Skype or YouTube at the moment.

i mean, does anybody trust Nintendo's mooves after they rejected the Skype proposal? I CERTAINLY DON'T ,because this would mean Nintendo is having some brain portion intact (meaning; functional brains in their executive ranks). Its a no brainer to me - having an IM client like Skype,big competition to other communication/gaming devices. Nintendo -- this is a company who said that "people don't want to buy second hand games" and that "homebrew is not professional,people want real games" ... cough*DsiWare!*cough
Well at least they said something in a similar context
I'll just stop here because i will repeat myself yet again how stupid Nintendo CAN be (not allways though... see Flipnote Studio).

theblackdragon: no,what you're saying is not more logical...but more EASY to do. It is perfectly possible to make an app that can get you online via the Skype service.About Youtube app , also possible - it could cache the video stream via SD card memory and that's that. Christ, if they only did a simple video player, you could download a FLV file from youtube on your SD card (an app could do all that ,to simplify things) and then play it with a simple "YouTube" player.So basicaly, i wouldn't care for STREAMING VIDEOS but to be able to play FLV files and to download them directly from this app - if not,you could DL it from your PC and transfer the FLV to your SD card and play it in this immaginary YT video player . But i have no clue whatsoever how to program anything,so ... its only an idea.(and i'm not the only one saying this)

Indeed,i want more facebook functionality too,but seriously: what more do you need for Facebook? You can UL pictures and send messages via the mobile portal on your DSi Browser. If you want to instant message there,well ... here we are again: we want an IM client

Cheers !!

p.s.:yes yes,i make no sense (for those who suffer when Nintendo is criticized).

also another thing, i am so frustrated by stupid apps like "6 in 1 dictionary" and quite a few people buy it just because it's Nintendo who's offering it... i get it.I know how you feel when an idealized company is offering crap - you WANT to belive it is actualy GOOD. And therefore it spares you from feeling a bit stupid... you ain't stupid! The problem is the one who sells you crap by saying how good it is ... evil stuff (allmost as much as evil, when somebody hides your TV remote...)

Join my quest to NOT BUY ANY DSIWARE titles till January 10th,2010 lol,seriously ... well, kind of

OK, i'll shut-up now...

@MindFever: just because you think it should happen doesn't make it a logical step. Nintendo is all about working the DSi into people's everyday lives, and Facebook is so popular right now they've already tweaked one application to work with it; why wouldn't more functionality with Facebook come next? i know you can use the internet browser to interact with FB, but it's so slow and it's not a dedicated app... what i'm saying is that i would expect to see an app that is pretty much FB on the DSi (and yes, FB does have an IM client, so that would integrate things even further) way before I'd expect to see Skype and/or YouTube apps.

Seriously, Nintendo (Miyamoto, i believe it was) already said a while back that they did not want the DSi to be a phone, which Skype functionality would totally make it into. if you're wanting it for the IM functionality, note that Nintendo has sat on PictoChat for years now without giving us any kind of wifi capability for it... we could totally have a giant PictoChat IM/chat network going already if Nintendo wanted to give it to us. And then with as slow as the DSi Browser is, I wouldn't want the capability of ripping the .flv files from Youtube onto my SD card... it would take forever! If you want .flv files to watch later, there are several websites you can use from your (much faster) computer to do that kind of thing.

Yeah, I'm just getting an iPod touch, I liked my old one. Nintendo didn't really make a smart move with the DSi.

If you look at what the big N doesnt say that says more > the dsi app flipnote is the best app out there for free.it is good enough that animators who did some disney like cartoon(Wallas and something) are making websodes for the dsi only using flipnotes.The piont is this out of nowhere within 1 week nintendo sends out flipnotes for free.updated the nintendo channel for high or low resolutions and more.and flipnotes uses sound and movement.It finally is cool to surf with the dsi when you can hear sounds from flipnote hatena website and download and upload from the dsi. lastly nintendo is finally using the dsi for the wii as they kept saying they would with the ds the best example is how gh5 is used while playing the wii and dsi at the same time and gh5 uses the sdhc memery cards up to 32 gigs and it is done the right way . it plays what it sees from the dlc songs.
so the facts is now the wii can store endless amounts uf storage and its just a few weeks or months away until we will see movies,wii games, tv on the wii and dsi.. The big N has moved quickly these last few weeks and it has come out of nowhere.
