The screen sizes, SD slot, Camera, multimedia capabilities and the new DS store seem to be good, but only problem with the new DSI is the screen resolution a 256 x 192 it’s really stinks :eek:, and it will be good if it come with resolution 320x240,:thumbup:
general feeling at the new DSi:
meh
my phone has a camera that is more powerful, and is a video and music player anyway, just like so many other phones out there.
pandora is looking even more tempting here =]_
You have to realize that there's PLENTY about this they're not announcing yet.
For instance, it very well could (and probably does) have plenty of internal RAM. It would have to if it has a built in internet browser.
As for rumble, could also be internal. We don't know for sure.
And they could even provide a "Virtual GBA" ala the Virtual Console...
I'll be buying it, even with a lack of GBA.
But if there is no Slot 2, then you couldn't use the Guitar Hero accessory.
but, guitar hero on tour was never released in japan - nintendo's primary market. other accessories like the slide controller seem to have never made the light of day, and the "ds camera" game thing has been taken care of with the built in camera. play yan (the awesome music player) has now been incorporated into the ds pretty much, and anybody with a large enough collection of GBA games should really still have a gba.
if anything, the original intention of the gba slot was never realised (damn pokemon games - you NEEDED the gba versions completed ti catch everything... outrageous...), so its removal, i doubt, will not be missed much. i only ever put a ram expansion cart in, because it looks cool, a clear dust cover. and the rumble pak sucked eggs, so i won't miss that.
Sucked eggs? No, it sucked batteries.
Seriously. With it, I could only get about two hours at the most of playtime before I had to charge.
The camera is .3 or 0.3 megapixels, not 3.0
300,000 pixels camera - 300k is 0.3 megapixels. 3 mil is 3.0 megapixels.
A lot of sites have been saying 3MP, which would have been quite useful as a camera. But it seems that the camera is actually 0.3MP, which is absolutely pants as a camera. Okay for taking snaps for viewing on the DS & maybe uploading to the net. At that quality clearly it's not intended to be used for taking snaps to print off.Quote:

not worth it.
Would have been good if they made the touch screen multi-point like the i-phone/i-touch.
