The 3DS console

This one is the game console of your dreams. It's 3D, without those alien looking eyeglasses. It's packed revolutionary capabilities, and as if that wasn't enough to make techies drool over it in their dreams, many services will be provided free! Whilst remaining similar in appearance to DS consoles. 3DS is all new and completely portable, weighing only 8 ounces (that is less than 230 grams); it fashions two screens. It's foldable and the main screen (the 3D one) is on the upper fold of the clam shell design. It measures 3.5 inches with an amazing 800x240 resolution. The lower screen is a 320x240 pixels touch sensitive panel.

Hardware Features:

A slider to control the 3D effect intensity.
An arcade style button-analog-controller, similar to retro game arcade pads.
An Accelerometer.
A Gyroscope.
Infra-red connectivity.
Three cameras – two front facing cameras positioned having one on each side that lets you take 3D pictures. That's not all; you can also play 3D video on your 3DS.
