Why is the DSi reusing the old GBA EXT connector?

It's the charging slot.

The charging time has been decreased to 2 hours and 30 minutes which is better than NDSL XD

why they don't put the Nintendo DS logo on the front like NDSL? hmmm looks a bit plain on the surface...

but the playing time decreased too..

Hmm. The DSi looks a bit more jagged thant the DSL.

NDSi not nice in black colour

nah, i find that the name "DSi" is cool

Couldn't Nintendo just reuse the previous connector from the Lite, unless they're planning on a new battery or different functions...
