I think I'll be sticking to my NDSL, can't see any point in upgrading if I'm gonna lose all the GBA's functionality... And with that, bye bye to Opera DS/Rumble Pack/etc. thingy that depends on SLOT-2

It also looks too similar to the current NDSL

Neat stuff, woot, almost the same pricing with DSL? How I wish that Nintendo is working on Wii HD, by the way, there are news that there is a new better DS coming soon, SD card means that we will getting Virtual Console sort of thing?

Dual touch screen is awesome.

But I still love my current NDSL.

It is confirmed that there will be only one touchscreen.

A bigger display really complements the whole console, but the display resolution hasn't changed at all, meaning that we would still see even blockier textures. The biggest loss here is the removal of SLOT-2, which obviously caused a lot of worries/tantrums from users relying on it. In short, there will be no rumble pack, no added memory (unless more RAM is built in), and most importantly, no more GBA games.

Also, they have not announced what type of batteries will be used on the DSi. Most speculate that it would share the same battery pack as the Lite, but with the new console being 12% thinner and again, the removal of the GBA slot, there is still a trace of light for a new redesign.

About the camera, this really isn't much to bark about but with a 3.0 megapixel cam, I hope Nintendo decides to be generous and don't throw in a fixed-focus lens. Who knows, games in the future might feature taking objects, and autofocus would be very handy in this case.

Also, the relocation of the power button is a serious mishap. They should have left it where it is on the Lite, and used a button instead of a spring switch.

hehe, DSi comes wif a built in web browser

3 megapixel or 0.3?

yeah, I thought it'll be a dual touchscreen.

nintendo should add the multi touch likes the ipod touch.

Where is the source saying there is only one touch screen?

haha i think it'll be a long way more to that, and imagine all the fingerprints  eww.. i can't stand it, even for my ndsl, i keep the screens at tip top condition whenever i'm not using it, or when i feel it a little rough then i'll give it a wipe.

If they did multi-touch functionality it's going to break backwards compatibility with the DS and DS Lite. Then again, what's going to happen if you plug a game requiring the camera into pre-DSi handhelds...

if they didn't make much change, then DSi will be nothing lah, all its upgrade is the size and reduce all the function likes the gba, battery etc.

seems nice, but it has its pros and cons as laid out by the others here:

pro:
- camera with 3.0 mp outside and 0.3 mp inside,
- 3.25" screen
- 12% thinner
- etc, etc

cons:
- battery life reduced
- no gba slot
- no change in picture quality
- etc, etc

since there's no dual touchscreen, it shouldn't be much of a wow factor anyway. so those who are already having an ndsl shouldn't be sad, it's still somewhat better than ndsi.

If they made a paradigm shift with it's features, it'll be a new console platform altogether. Nintendo's main goal is to extend the life of the DS platform, obviously you can't make many changes aside from a few things to retain compatibility.

Anyone noticed that the START and SELECT buttons are slightly bigger on the DSi?

can't really tell from the pictures in the first post, looks about the same.
