it's a 1/3 megapixel camera, not 3 megapixel

300,000 pixels, not 3,000,000

Yeah, i think a number of sites on the web claim its a 3mp.. where others claim its a .3mp..

0.3MP.... ARE THEY SERIOUS, WHY DON'T THEY JUST ADD HALF A QWERTY KEYBOARD IN THERE.

yeah, is it 3 megapixels or 0.3? if it's a vga camera, why bother with two of them? i read somewhere the active resolution was 640 by 480 (vga res).

EDIT: the japanese nintendo ds site has been updated, with the info. i can't read japanese, though, the comparison photo bit is a nice touch

It sure looks cool! I want one, but I don't know if I'll buy one... Well, I have to wait until it will be released here, in Europe, in Sweden. Even if I want Nintendo to make a totally now console, I have to admit that they really made an impressive work on this.

*Edit* By the way, does DSi support WPA-encrypted networks? Or is it the same bad networkcard as in the Original/Lite?

Thankfully I already got a DS Lite.

DSi has no GBA slot and is more expensive. No more Guitar Hero, Slot 2 flashcarts, or rumble.

Cellphone camera built in? No thanks.

Get ready for the firmware wars with the new upgradable firmware and flashcarts.

Half battery life on highest screen brightness. Yuck!

BTW wiggy fuzz... the dsi has the same processing power than the ds lite, all those games you saw running there will run on both DS's (except for those which need the camera maybe.

Anyways I think this will be nice, the camera can't be much badder than my handy's.

Man I need money, this sounds good.
