Here is my research regarding the new DS to be released!


I'll be starting with the positives and then pointing out negative possibilities and knowing Nintendo probabilities.

MP3 playback off of SD cards
I guess if you have an iPod you can put iTunes on the DSi (nice going on the original and discrete name, cough yeah sarcasm cough) or you can pirate from LimeWire/your CDs. Supposedly you can Fastforward and rewind as well as change pitches.
My problems...
-It has a headphone slot right? I can see you forgetting that Nintendo!
-Do most people already have their music on SD cards?
-No mention of a harddrive or flash memory to my memory, meaning you have to swap your SD cards out, unless they announce this.

Camera
You supposedly can take pictures... ok, yeah a camera not much to say.
-I haven't checked the specs, this could be a bad quality.
-No mention of videos to my knowledge.
-I still feel a digital camera is better, although this will be easier to transfer pictures than a cell.

Bigger screens
You get bigger screens, no new touch no enhanced graphics. (Of course it isn't a successor afterall)
-One touch screen
-Same graphics and hardware
-How exactly is a bigger screen useful for a successor?

Built in browser and DirtualSonsole
Yep, you can now download stuff to your SD like on the Wii.

Lack of gameboy and all perhiphial support
Ok, I admit this will be the biggest Achilles heel this will face. There also is zip on positives so straight to our negatives.
-You know those cool games that you can get cool stuff from GBA games? That is gone with this.
-You know how accesories and perhiphials like the GH fretboard, plug in. With this those acessories and games that depend on them are useless.
-You know how everything the DS is today is linked to the GBA compatibility, this will be gone.
*So that is what the bigger screen is for..


I personally think it's pretty cool, I hope it comes in a platinum bundle!
