There is a DS Browser available, but it comes separately. You have to buy it and it can't do a lot.

Wow.
This new DSi thing looks really impressive!
Bigger Screens (not by much though; 1/4 inch)
Longer Stylus
SD cards for games
Internet Capable
and Can Play the Old DS games!

I don't like the fact that it can't play GBA games, but it's a minor issue.

BAD IDEA ALERT: I see a problem with the name...Let's look at it for a second

DSi
DS-i
SD-i
CD-i  :o (NOOOOOOO! IT'S LIKE DEJA'VU!

I wish they made it a new system, E.G- Better graphics, different game cartridges, but it does look pretty damn cool.

I may buy the DSi. When I see reviews and comparisons to the DS lite. I will think about it. But I will of course buy it if my DS breaks. Plus the SD Card is what holds the game? Then you could play homebrew games!

the sd card is mainly to help you play music files on the DSi but you no it really just makes hacking easier

I won't buy the DSi, there aren't enough new features to make it worth buying it. I don't like the absence of a GBA slot either.

Wait if they make DSI only games, then they can't make gameboy to ds transfer games, like they did with pokemon. That means I won't be able to transfer data if they EVER come out with golden sun 3. What a bummer.

Do you think they will have camara games on it somehow?

When I went on my Wii, I went to Nintendo Channel and they had a trailer of DSI check it out

Sweet, thanks for the info. I've been planning on getting a new DS. I have an original from WAAAAAAAYYYY back, so it's beat up considerably. Sucks that the DSi will have so much lower battery life. But much more features for just a couple hours isn't that bad.

Yeah I can't wait for the DSi I'm gonna get it on the first day it comes out.

not great news for me. since this website does involve illegal activity( downloading roms) ill say it
you can not use flash carts. if you dont know what that is it is a devise for the DS so you can download games on to sd card and put on your flash cart. i hope that cyclo ds evolution get far with there research then i might consider buying a DSi

EDIT: hmmmm....... maybe i will consider buying it. keep a ds lite and a DSi

Here's a pair of Youtube DSi unboxing videos for any who are considering getting this thing... the guy in the vid isn't the most tech-savvy dude around, so bear with him.  Additionally, the videos are long & in-depth so be patient.  ;)
