Hath not a DS i's?
Let's all jump into a time machine and go back a month or two before the DSi came out. Let's pretend that you are a person who has a DS -- which probably isn't a stretch because according to current statictics, more housholds have a DS than ones that have people living in them -- and you heard about the DSi that (has yet to) come out, and you are wondering, should I upgrade?
Well, let's get the "nonsense I already know" aside; The biggest differences between the DS (lite) and the DSi is that the DSi comes with more bells and whistles, the most notable of which are two webcam-esque cameras, an SD card slot, a "play with your music" program, and a built-in web browser. Oh, they also dropped the GBA slot, if that's worth mentioning, though I doubt too many tears will be shed and eulogys written about that. Let's perform surgury on first things first, eh?
The two cameras on the DSi are VGA 0.3 megapixel digital cameras, which is the equivalent specs of a cell phone camera. However, after much fiddling, I found the DSi pictures were actually quite a bit nicer than any pic my cell phone could take. Granted, you can't zoom in or out on the DSi camera until after you take the picture, but I've yet to see a cell phone camera that has zoom ability at all, so props to the DSi cam on that cookie. The various "lenses" that the program has are also quite neat, and being a person with a warped mind, I found silly fun uses for every single one. And as an added bonus, I can save them to an SD and put these pics in places they never should go (like the internet).
Harry, here,would also like to point out that while many would moan and grown about not being able to play their favorite GBA games the DSi does one step better. With a variety of new accessories you can not only play any GBA game you feel but also the good old classic color and original GB gmaes. Plus i know for myself through personal experiences that the glossy texture of the DS tended to get dirty exponentially fast, quickly absorbing finger grease, dirt and boogers or whatever you touched the DS with. DSi solves this predicament by simply giving the handheld a nice matt finish. So say good bye to dirty DS's and say hello the new, shiny DSi.
