Well it looks like I was partially right:

- No GBA slot
- Larger screens (17% bigger)
- Plays MP3’s and AAC.

- SD Memory card slot

- Internal flash memory
- Opportunity to Download DSiWare games

Revived franchises for the Wii
- Punchout
- Sin and Punishment 2 (wooh!)
Wii storage issue
- As from Spring 2009, games can be stored on SD cards.
Well I was seconds away from preordering the DSi on import from Japan, when my sense got hold of me. I can foresee possible compatibility issues with the DSiWare games, and would not want that. Also, Spring 2009 isn’t too much time to wait.
I just hope my current Ds Lite holds out until then, as it has developed a big nasty crack on the frame (in addition to a small one on the hinge). I blame frantic playing on Guitar Hero, but then again I do tend to use my DS a hell of a lot (probably more so than my Wii and PS3 combined).
Anyway, all good stuff.

Hmm, I greeted the DSi news with a big 'so what'; the camera isn't much use if you already have one on your phone (which everyone does), and it's hardly going to be a replacement for my ipod.
I guess if it isn't broke, there's no point fixing it in any major way. Not a worthwhile 'upgrade' in my view (unlike the Lite) but useful if yours breaks.
