Overall size has been reduced -- DSi is 12% or 2.6 millimeters slimmer than the Lite.
Comes with an external 0.3 Megapixel camera (for 640 x 480 pixel pictures) and a VGA camera located on the hinge, directed towards the user. You'll be able to edit pictures using the touchscreen.
Full music playback functionality, including adjustable pitch and playback speed.
Both screens have been expanded to 3.25 inches.
SD memory card slot is included, and there'll be on-board memory also.
Will ship with an built-in Nintendo DS web browser.
DSi will allow users to download games from DSWare, a new service that operates with Wii Points -- or, as they are now known, Nintendo Points.
Logging onto DSWare for the first time will grant users 1,000 free Nintendo Points.
DSWare comes in four pricing categories: free (!), 200 Nintendo Points, 500 Nintendo Points, and 800 Nintendo Points.
Will come in lovely matte white and matte black. Begone, foul fingerprints that have taunted us so!
And finally, it launches on November 1st in Japan, and will cost ¥18,900, or roughly $179. Check out the official site at the "Source" link below!

Sounds like a neat little gadget. It provides for new features beyond that of the old DS, which are things to do without a game. The camera is a good idea, hopefully it's of a decent quality. Would be handy when out and about.

No, it's a 0.3MP camera. Every site I read said so.

I think you can get an external 3MP but the actual DS one is 0.3?

I'll probably be getting it despite my DS Lite only being a few months old. I don't like the matt black though, I much prefer shiny.
