Diary Girl reminds us why we have no friends

We love the idea of a DS-based organizer and diary (and yes, we're aware that DS Organize exists) but we aren't sure about the rest of the content in Diary Girl. To be blunt, we find the art style off-putting, but then we aren't little girls. We would rather not stare into the faces of those Bratz-like characters as we confess our feelings to the touchscreen.

When you're not diarizing, you can keep up a to-do list, customize your horrifying avatar, check your horoscope, and play this little quiz game. If answering honestly, we'd have to pick option 2 here, which is why we're going to make a point to add "stop being a self-centered jerk" to our to-do list.

Diary Girl delayed, we are unable to note the new date

You may not care about Konami's Diary Girl, but we do, a little. At least in that it's a novel idea with some neat features, like voice chat, horoscopes, and password-protected journal entries. Sure, DSOrganize does personal organizing stuff, but there's room for a retail solution, we think. We don't necessarily know how we feel about the girly branding; is it appropriate or insulting? And should we wait for Diary Dude? In any case, the core software seems vaguely interesting.

It was listed for December on that massive Nintendo release schedule a couple of months back, and now it ... isn't. Amazon has the "game" releasing on March 4, and Konami's own Diary Girl page says February. If only we had ... some kind of personal organizer that we could carry around with us to keep track of these dates. Maybe something that went along with a device we already carry around. Somebody should invent something like that.

DS homebrew gets organized

Proving that it can boost productivity as well as destroying it, the homebrew scene has churned out a DS organizer suite for us to download and arrange our overly complicated work schedules with. Cleverly entitled DSOrganize, the software boasts a calendar, an address book with vCard support, a day planner, multiple languages, a file browser and rudimentary handwriting recognition. The latter part is excellent news, what with my handwriting being so very rudimentary indeed.

Now, presented with this homebrew creation, you may recall a rumor about Nintendo filing a patent for something called V-Pocket, supposedly stemming from them licensing the Palm operating system for the DS. However, unless we missed something, it doesn't look like anything ever came of that. Given its stylus-based interface and Wi-Fi capabilities, the DS seems like it could be an ideal (and cheap) alternative to other handheld organizers, with an added benefit of playing some stellar games. With web browsing taken care of, would you be interested in an official organizer package for the DS?
