Stephen Fry on why he loves his pink DS Lite

DS

Some people should stick to doing one thing well and not flaunt the fact they are brilliant at whatever they want to be brilliant at. Yes, we mean you Stephen Fry, who not content with international fame as a humorist, writer, actor, novelist, filmmaker and television presenter, is now getting into the swing of being a videogames expert too.

This weekend, his technology column, Dork Talk, in UK newspaper The Guardian, tackled the subject of the DS Lite - of which he confesses to have a pink version of, as it was the only colour he could find to buy. Still his analysis of the device is so well informed, we'd happily to offer him a freelance role on Pocket Gamer.

For example; "A simple pocket knife can be more appealing and usable than a bristling Victorinox, and a dedicated little games machine like the DS can engage us far more than the sleek power of the PSP" - on the subject of the latter's Swiss Army knife approach to technology - a subject we have previously speculated about.

Hey, maybe he's a Pocket Gamer reader after all?
