I just might have to get a new phone - this is a much cooler phone than the last itunes phone.  Check out the new Motorola SLVR comment []  trackback []  9:56:29 AM

Can you imagine Cisco owning Nintendo?  How about the next DS having a wireless card that isn't compatible with anything a year from now?  Amazing. Cisco Eyeing Tivo/Nintendo for Buyout?. We've already covered Cisco's push into the home electronics market, but CNet is reporting that they may be planning even bigger purchases to come. The article speculates that Cisco may be planning on purchasing Tivo or Nintendo to add to their growing portfolio of companies. From the article: " Another possible acquisition candidate for Cisco is Nintendo, the No. 3 game console maker in the U.S. A stretch? Not really. Microsoft, which is emerging as a key competitor to Cisco in the home entertainment market, is already in this market with the Xbox 360. Gaming has already proved to be a strong application for broadband, so it makes sense that Cisco would want to own a game device to help drive more traffic on its network. With its popular GameBoy product, Nintendo would also provide Cisco an entree into the mobile-handheld market." Some commentary at GameDailyBiz, which finds it unlikely that Nintendo would sell to Cisco. [Slashdot] comment []  trackback []  9:39:44 AM
