Streaming video on a DS Lite, that would be a hot selling feature!

Nice ideas, if none “break the bank” on the price point … I’ve seen DS Lites for as cheap as $110.

Also, for proposed features we forgot an important one:

Flash Lite 3.x player support with integrated wifi accessible ecosystem for casual (game) content creation & distribution!

I guess Nintendo should contact us to beta test their next device. Right?

I had a bad experience of using a wrong power adapter with a router and fried it. It’s from the same company for a different model; the only difference is the voltage. So I’ve been labeling them too. There are just too many of them for us gadget geeks…

Re: Larger screen - I can see slightly larger screens without changing the form factor.

Oh, while I’m at it, how about multi-touch, SIM and memory slot too?

And to prove that I’m not (just) a stickler for hardware, how about built-in VoIP software and browser in firmware?

Dave, that’s why I said “near perfection … you are a stickler for hardware, aren’t you!

I agree with WPA and WPA2 (frustrating!).

At least, 802.11g would be nice too.

More battery life is always nice … don’t know about you but I’ve gotten to the point where I have to label all my power supplies (even though DS is pretty unique design) and always doing a power adapter “hunt”.

Why do you want a larger screen, it’ll break the footprint … maybe you mean better quality displays or perhaps you mean occupy more of the current footprint?

A camera would be nice, but I think they don’t have it due to security concerns with younger users … just a guess.
