Nintendo is getting ready to release an MP3 player for their DS / DS Lite.  They’ve really been broadening the scope of the DS lately by adding web browsing functionality… and oh yeah, it’s a gaming device as well.  The picture above was spotted in a brochure from the Leipzig Games Convention in Germany - which over 180,000 people attended from August 23-27.  It looks like this is the real deal, so expect it to be announced soon.  The package will likely be released for around $40 on October 8th.  Have a look at the specs below:
