Report: Nintendo 3DS hardware specs detailed
Nintendo's 3DS should be arriving on UK shores some as-yet-unannounced time around spring 2011, with new reports emerging detailing the glasses-free 3D handheld's tech specs this week.
IGN has published what it claims to be the tech specs for Nintendo's new 3DS console, although there is still no official word from Nintendo, with the company refusing to comment on rumour or speculation.
ARM 11 CPUs
For now, IGN alleges that the Nintendo 3DS has two 266MHz ARM11 CPUs, with a 133MHz GPU, 4MBs of dedicated VRAM, 64MBs of RAM, and 1.5GBs of flash storage.
The ARM 11 range of mobile processors are perhaps best known by consumers due to their use in Apple's iPhones and the latest Android smartphones.
An ARM11 processor also powers the the Zune HD. On which note, you may recall that Microsoft has recently announced the roll-out of Zune for the UK later this year.
1.5 GB flash memory
The 3DS' GPU has already been confirmed to be DMP's PICA200, with a maximum processing speed of around 200MHz.
The handheld is also said to feature 1.5GB of flash memory, which can also be expanded using the 3DS' SD card slot.
We've contacted Nintendo for comment and further information on this story. Stay tuned for updates.

There's a reason why Apple is suing Samsung in just about every major world territory - it feels threatened, and so it might.
Samsung is now the top-selling phone manufacturer on the planet, and that's entirely thanks to the wildly popular Galaxy range of Android smartphones. The latest such handset, the Galaxy S3, has enjoyed the kind of build-up and reception normally reserved for iDevices and that's no mean feat.
