Almost 4 million people want to watch TV on their DS
J Cast Business News is reporting that the device has received almost 4 million pre-orders in Japan, causing us to thoroughly question the world around us and wonder if anything we took for a certainty before is still the same. This is just crazy-hard to believe on our end, because 4 million people is, like ... a lot of people. That's a third of the population of Buenos Aires and the number of e-mails Bill Gates gets every day.

this is probably so popular because of the large casual gamer base. old folks and business people would love to watch TV on the go on the off chance they're not training their brains.

I bet I could get around paying the tv license tax here in the UK if I had this because the DS is a battery operated device!!! :D

Trouble is, if it ever came out over here it would have to have Freeview or something built into it seeing as the analogue TV is shutting down soon. I really hope it's possible, though!

I said it once and I'll say it again, its ugly. Another thing is that this won't work in North America.
