gollark: It's probably *possible*, with work, to run other general-purpose software on a DS. It's much easier with fairly standard x86 machines.
gollark: Very fast calculators with better I/O, yes.
gollark: What?
gollark: You can compare Apple products with non-Apple products on many dimensions. The obvious one, given that they sell mostly computers, is hardware capabilities per $ (or other money unit).
