I bought a second hand DSi off Amazon for about £50.
I imagine it's also popular because parents feel a lot happier giving their kids this device than an expensive smartphone or computer. The more children who have one, the more fun it is because it can interact with other devices. The kids were much more likely to own a Nintendo DS (with ownership increasing with age in primary schools). Almost all of the children we asked had an internet connection at home, but less than half had their own computer or phone. I was asked this after tweeting that I'd got one as a test device. "Why would anyone want to use a DS as a browser?" But the DS has a browser and it's small and portable, so it could be an ideal device to use the site on. Some may not have much personal space while using a computer and have to share terminals with family or other children. We're not ready to make anything public about the what we're working on while we're still at the prototyping stage, but it's something that children should be able to access privately. I was amazed by how many said they had a Nintendo DS. While doing user testing with children on a prototype of an app I'm helping build, one of the questions we asked was what technology they owned.
