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.

oh how consoles and portables have changed, geez do we really need all this stuff in 1 device that is built for fun.

I don't even use facebook, I consider all those places a cheating infestation and a waste.

Why would I use my DSi for facebook when I can use my iPhone? Why would I use my DSi for internet surfing when I can use my laptop? Why would I take pictures with my DSi when I can use my digital camera?

Needless to say, I hate the DSi. I purchased one and a week later I 'upgraded' to a DS Lite. All of the features are half-assed and useless.

If Nintendo puts Virtual Console on the DSi and fixes the d-pad... I'll be happy to buy another.
