facebook and dsi: a match made in social networking heaven

Facebook has hit the Nintendo DSi–in Japan, at least–in a limited, if useful sense. The combo was announced at E3 with little fanfare, and no detail, but thanks to a recent update, Japanese DSi owners can now upload pictures they’ve taken with the handheld straight to Facebook. Convenient!

The service is slated for North America sometime in the fall, but there’s no firm release date yet. It’ll be interesting to see whether or not we see any DSi marketing tied to this. With the DSi’s built-in photo editing, this could be a fair selling point.
