Datel's 4GB HD For Nintendo DS

In the outgoing rivalry between the Nintendo DS and PSP camps, PSP fans have long flaunted their handheld's media capabilities as a huge difference between the PSP and DS. The DS has been somewhat lacking in picture, video and music playback for quite some time. Fortunately for DS fans like me, Datel has set out to change all that!
The Nintendo DS never had capabilities to play music, movies or photos until now.

Announced just a few days ago, Datel's MAX Media Player for the Nintendo DS is a 4 GB hard drive unit that pops into the DS's GBA cartridge slot. A fully-featured media browser is built into the device, and when connected is able to launch MP3s, JPEGs and videos on the DS screens.

The package
The way you control everything is by touching them on the touch screen. The PSP does not have that. Ha ha ha!

As I wrote, it can play music, watch movies and view photos. But it can also read some special applications for the DS. (We have not seen any applications for the DS yet but we can't wait!!!)

The device can connect to PCs via USB for file transfer and bundled software will format videos and images to fit the DS screen. 4GB is a lot of storage space for video compressed to DS size, enough for 10 full-lengh movies according to Datel.
You can connect the Hard Drive to a PC to transfer files.
