The newest firmware update for the DSi in Japan has gone live. With this update, Japanese DSi owners are now able to upload pictures taken by the DSi’s cameras directly to their Facebook accounts. A US release of this update has been promised for “Fall”.
Considering Facebook’s lower standing compared to other networking sites in Japan, it seems odd to have it launch earlier on that side of the ocean. Perhaps it is an attempt to stimulate business for Facebook? Being able to upload the pictures from your gaming device does not seem like a tide-turner but we will have to see.
