Could Nintendo DSi Shop help Ninteducation?

There is a new trend happening with schools around the world, called Ninteducation. Schools are buying up Nintendo DS Lites to teach classes. With the addition of Nintendo DSi Shop some educational games have popped up. For example, in the Japanese version of the Nintendo DSi Shop there is a game called, Kuukiyomi, teaches having manners. Now Japan is a VERY polite country, but this could help kids learn manners. Here in the US, Brain Age Express could also help teach Math, Reading, etc.. Other educational games could pop up in Nintendo DSi Shop. Although some might not be available to the masses. Nintendo could open up a 2nd private Nintendo DSi Shop for educational purposes. Although Nintendo has the potential to bring video games to the educational market, they aren't the only ones. Apple also seems to have the potential. With the wildly popular App Store and iPod Touch, it can help the educational market. Now both the iPod Touch and Nintendo DSi/Lite are good for the educational market, due to the fact that they both are much cheaper then buying computers loaded with software. This will also be a good idea because many people in school will be like this "WOW! THIS IS FUN!", well of course because its better than doing a bunch of worksheets. Also many kids will be used to it since many people in K to 12th grade students own a PSP, iPod Touch, or Nintendo DS. Apple could do the same thing as Nintendo could, open a 2nd and private App Store for the educational market. This trend is become more common in schools and is wildly popular with students and teachers. So can the Nintendo DSi and iPod Touch teach in our schools?
