We also note some additional features like preview of some direct media (Flickr, YouTube) directly into the body of messages.
The team said that the update is not instantaneous for everyone. The 400 million users are in fact spread over several server farms. These servers are not tied to a country or the date of account creation. The migration should be finalized in late July. Note however that some features will arrive later. This is particularly true of support for Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync to configure his account on a smartphone, and integration tools Office Web Apps that allow you to view and edit a document received as attachments.

If no release date has yet been revealed - even if Nintendo wishes to exit the console by the end of fiscal year 2010 - the list of games that will be available out of the 3DS is already known.
A list that, if she does not forget the classics of the brand - Paper Mario, Star Fox 64 3D, Nintendogs or Kid Icarus: Uprising - also leaves the pride to third party publishers for titles surprising and sometimes unexpected one Nintendo handheld. Thus, Capcom will offer a 3D version of Super Street Fight IV and Resident Evil Revelation.
