Users can write memos, record sounds and create animations with the downloadable program (that&#8217;s made by Nintendo).<br \/>\nThe video below shows how Moving Notepad works.<br \/>\n<object width=\"425\" height=\"344\" data=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/PWd6bC31oOo&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" \/><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" \/><param name=\"src\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/PWd6bC31oOo&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1\" \/><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" \/><\/object><br \/>\nThe company Nintendo partnered up with is a quite unusual choice: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hatena.ne.jp\/\">Hatena<\/a> is well-known in Japan <a href=\"http:\/\/asiajin.com\/blog\/tag\/hatena\/\">as a heaven for geeks<\/a>, a site that combines social bookmarking, blogging, photo sharing, specialized searches etc. In other words, Hatena is not really a site for the mainstream DSi user.<br \/>\nHatena set up a dedicated web site for Nintendo&#8217;s service (<a href=\"http:\/\/ugomemo.hatena.ne.jp\/\">Ugomemo Hatena<\/a>) to where DSi users can upload animations they made directly via the device. It&#8217;s then possible to share, comment on and rate the user-generated content just like with video on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\">YouTube<\/a>, for example.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1595\" title=\"ugomemo_hatena_screenshot\" src=\"http:\/\/img.asiajin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/ugomemo_hatena_screenshot.jpg\" alt=\"ugomemo_hatena_screenshot\" width=\"470\" height=\"257\" \/><br \/>\nDSi users can access Ugomemo Hatena on their device and can view and edit animations from other users.<br \/>\nThe service is completely free and the best thing is it might become available outside Japan in the near future. On <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hatena.com\/\">Hatena USA<\/a>, it\u00a0 says: &#8220;Ugomemo Hatena (In Japanese only.
