Nintendo V-pocket

According to sources, Nintendo has registered a new trademark in Japan. There are no details at the time besides the announced name, "Nintendo v-pocket". Now in the logo the text is basically identical to the logo text for the DS. Some are speculating that the "v" stands for video. Making it possibly the U.S. and European version of the gba/ ds media player the play-yan. Others speculate anything from online DS device/service to a something virtual boy-esque. More news as it comes. Trademark.

I wish you would have checked your "News" email. I sent word on this story many hours ago (sourced from the original japanese site)! Nonetheless, I say it's safe to assume that this "V-Pocket" has some direct affiliation with the Nintendo DS and even closer I can say that it's problably not the PlayYan because the trademark for "V-Pocket" was made in NCL (Japan) in December (infact just days after DS launch). NCL wouldn't name an American or European product. Unless they dropped the "V-Pocket" name and moved to PlayYan.

I strongly believe it has to do with the online protocol.
