Ayaneo Flip is less Steam Deck and more Nintendo DS
The new Ayaneo Flip DS packs faster specs than the Steam Deck, but its clamshell dual-screen design reminds us of Nintendo's classic handheld.
Looks really cool but it runs Windows :(
It looks very snappable.
I guess it doesn’t have to. Support for the Steam OS like distributions could well be added fairly quick
I'm honestly surprised they can even use the DS name. I assumed Nintendo had trademarked that in every way possible
"DS" Stand for dual screen. Is it a descriptive element, and not a distinctive element.
Well yes but actually no. The phrase "dual screen" is descriptive yes. But that is not what Nintendo called their product. The official name for the Nintendo DS is, well, Nintendo DS. So they very well could have trademarked the "DS" naming to keep for themselves for all eternity. Especially since they could argue that the shortened "DS" is distinctive since it is an abbreviation and not just a plain description.
All I'm saying is I'm surprised the asshole suits at Nintendo didn't do it, don't know if they tried but failed though.
I'm gonna assume it's a "lmao China" moment when it comes to copyright.
It would actually be trademark and not copyright, and as such it requires constant market use by the trademark holder, and Nintendo has stopped using the DS trademark
