CNet says DS is a wife-friendly gadget

The CNet staff recently compiled a list of the top ten gadgets with high WAF (Wife Acceptance Factor) and Nintendo's DS came in at no. 9. If you're a 13-year old DS Fanboy and not married (and you shouldn't be) this doesn't concern you...yet. But better read on because it's only a matter of time.

WAF is a term used for electronic products that wives (or women in general) wouldn't mind getting as a gift from their husbands or boyfriends. The higher the WAF rating, the lower the chances the guy-giver gets the "look". Examples of products with low to zero WAF are the blender, vacuum cleaner, or a foot-jacuzzi. You're just asking for it, mister. On the other hand the DS, according to CNet, would be greatly appreciated by the missus.

The DS charm works on women because the console has a large title selection that appeals to women. Cooking Mama, Cake Mania, and Brain Age for starters. Sure, some women might get a kick out of Asphalt Urban GT or Final Fantasy III but better be sure. Hey, dude, she's your wife so ought to know.

In addition, the slim DS Lite fits in her purse quite nicely - something the bulkier PSP can't do - and it comes in a number of fashion-conscious colors. Check out the limited edition Love and Berry DS Lite and you know what we mean. Or if you really want to impress her (read: be forgiven for your big screw up) give her the Swarovski-studded DS Lite shown above.

Also on the wife-friendly gadget list is Sony's VPL-VW50 LCD projector, iPod 2GB Nano, and the Yamaha YSP 800 Sound Projector.
