Well its official, Nintendo has revealed the brand spanking new DSi handheld. Here is a quick summary of the new specs:
- Two built in cameras
- 12% thinner then the DS Lite (comes at the cost of the GBA slot, no more old schoolin)
- Music Playback
- Internal Storage (no word on how much)
- SD Card slot for additional storage
- Slightly larger screens (3.25 inches)
- Photo Synching with the Wii photo channel
- Free web browsing via Wi Fi
- DSi Shop (buy games and applications directly over Wi Fi
Nintendo is calling the DSi a “third platform” but really its so similar to a DS I’m not sure who they are trying to fool with that. It will launch November 1 in Japan in black and white colors (I chose the black for the pic above because it showed up better then the white) and will retail for approximately $178 US. No word on the US release other then sometime 2009.
