Nintendo DS

The nintendo Ds protable gaming system is a very good entry level sytem for kids.Parents trying to figure out if their kids are mature enough for a handheld system should definitley consider looking into this system.The games available for this system are VERY kid oriented and it stores well folding in half to protect itself.The sound quality is good but the options available are limited.This system is primarly a gaming system with no other functions other then limited connectivity to other DS systems for Chat or two player gaming.One neat feature is the dual screen system and it operates with a stylus pen to add a little bit of novelty to it. Over all i would give this system a 4.5 out of 5 for the durability.
