Courtesy Nintendo CNET News.com / GameSpot's Hirokiko Noiizumi reports from the Nintendo press conference at the CEATEC technology conference in Tokyo that Nintendo president Satoru Iwata said the dual-screen Nintendo DS handheld gaming console will feature downloadable software and content via its wireless networking function.

This isn't really surprising but it immediately opens the Nintendo DS to the possibility of malware, viruses and other security vulnerabilities.

I wonder how long it will be before the first DS virus or worm is discovered and propagated.

"We are absolutely considering the idea (of going into the movie business)," Iwata said. Although we don't have anything to talk about right now, we hope to make an announcement by the end of the year."

Iwata was referring to "former Nintendo President Hiroshi Yamauchi's conviction that Nintendo should enter the animated film business."
