Submission + - Free Nintendo DS Game Demos at Airports
destinyland writes: "Nintendo just installed "download stations" at airports which will wirelessly transmit free game demos to your Nintendo DS. "Because people typically have a lot of down time, airports are ideal places...to try out free new game experiences," says a Nintendo spokesperson. They'll rotate new games into the kiosks periodically,
and they're hoping it gives them a new channel for promoting Nintendo games and consoles to customers (weaning them off Microsoft and Sony.)"

Submission + - Why the RAZR is killing Motorola
Dynamoo writes: "Motorola's latest RAZR2 handsets announced yesterday are certainly impressive and much improved under the hood.. but on the surface it looks just like the old RAZR warmed over.
Is Motorola terminally fixated on the RAZR design? Some people seem to think so — but can Motorola's recent woes can really be blamed on sticking with the RAZR for too long?"

Submission + - How DS took over the world - the defining moments

From the article: 10 Nintendo DS TV ad campaign
There must be a law of advertising that says a first campaign will be crap. It happened with Sony's Society Against PlayStation and Microsoft's bizarre arty Xbox ads, and in keeping with the trend came Nintendo's DS 'In Touch with Original Comedy' sponsorship of Channel 4 programmes. It began in Carry On mode with a selection of woman, often middle-aged, asking young men if 'They could touch it?'. This was followed by the camera panning down to groin level, finally demonstrating a shot of Metroid Prime Hunters or some such. Thankfully, the rise of the mass-market Touch Generation campaign eliminated this rubbish. There was even a brief halcyon period in the summer where the Trauma Centre ads coincided with the Green Wing comedy.
