Official Nintendo Game Boy MPEG4/MP3 Player

Yikes... I just finally read that big write-up about this thing up there. ASF-container MPEG4 video? The hell? So far as I know, you can encode MPEG4 video straight into an MPEG container. While you can wrap it into a more proprietary container (ASF, MOV, etc.), why would they want to here? Unless I'm seriously mistaken, ASF is Microsoft... why is Nintendo using an MS container when they don't need to? As well, from what I know, this will make it harder for just anybody to encode their own content into MPEG4 video that would work with this thing.

Oof, that's a bummer.

V-Pocket is rumored to be Nintendo's new Palm OS based PDA/translation suite for DS, not the western name for the Play-Yan. The registration was Japanese too.
