Sick of only being able to access the net with your DS from a wireless network? Well, Nintendo might have a different system for their next device. In a recent interview, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata shared his interest with the Kindle model which only charges users once for unlimited access to their download network.

"I’m interested because it’s a new business model in which the user doesn’t bear the communications cost," said Iwata. "Only people who can pay thousands of yen a month [in mobile phone subscriptions] can be iPhone customers. That doesn’t fit Nintendo customers because we make amusement products. The Kindle’s one-off cost would better suit Nintendo’s customer base. In reality, if we did this it would increase the cost of the hardware, and customers would complain about Nintendo putting prices up, but it is one option for the future."

Would you support this feature in the DS’s successor, or would it be useless to you? Let us know on the forums or the comments section below.
