As expected, Nintendo just announced the DSi at its fall presentation -- and
it's got dual touchscreens. The company is calling it a "third platform," which
means it's complementing the existing DS Lite, not necessarily replacing it.
Lookswise there's not much different, but it's some 12 percent thinner, partly
because it doesn't have a GBA cartridge slot. The touchscreens are also slightly
larger, at 3.25 inches, and there's an external three megapixel camera, and a
front-facing camera located on the hinge. There's an SD slot and internal
storage -- we're not sure how much at the moment, but photos can be taken
directly to the Wii Photo Channel on the card. Nintendo's also launching an
online DSi Shop, which will sell content directly over WiFi, including a free
browser app and "DS Ware" game -- and you'll be able to get on for free at
"Nintendo Zone" hotspots, which will be located in Japanese McDonalds. The store
will take the newly-renamed Nintendo Points, 1000 of which will come free with
the DSi until March 2010 and content will be priced in 0 / 200 / 500 / 800 point
brackets. ¥18,900 ($178), launching in Japan on November 1st in black and white
-- the rest of us will have to wait until next year.

Believe in the power of Karma. Whatever you do shall be repaid, be it good or bad. Oh, and this is my blog, so I obviously don’t give a damn about what you think.
