The Nintendo DSi is the newest version of the DS, announced during the Nintendo Conference on October 2, 2008 in Tokyo, Japan. The Nintendo DSi is a revised model of the Nintendo DS Lite. It is being touted by Nintendo as a "third pillar"; a complement to the regular Nintendo DS, not a replacement. Nintendo has announced that it will be thinner than the DS Lite. The new handheld will contain two 640x480 cameras (0.3 Megapixels each, one pointed towards the gamer and the other on the outside of the shell), larger screens (3.25 inches as opposed to the previous 3 inches), and better speakers. A new SD card slot will be utilized for external storage of pictures and downloaded software. The front slot for GBA cartridges will be removed, thus removing the unit's backwards compatibility and its compatibility with add-ons like Guitar Hero: On Tour and the rumble pack. The DSi will have its own internal flash memory and will ship with a built-in web browser. Photos can be synced to the Wii's Photo Channel. It is possible to download games from an online store, called the DSi Shop, and store them on the DSi. The applications will either be free, 200, 500, or 800 Nintendo Points. The system will be released in Japan on November 1, 2008 for 18,900 yen ($180) in matte black and white, and in 2009 in the rest of the world.

Oh my gosh it's a portable Wii without motion! That sounds really cool. |
