Anyone know the size of the screen? I assume they're the same size.

It doesn't matter what measurement.

Screens: Two separate 3-inch TFT LCD, resolution of 256 x 192 pixels, dimensions of 62 x 46 mm and 77 mm diagonal, and a dot pitch of 0.24 mm. The gap between the screens is approximately 21 mm, equivalent to about 92 "hidden" lines. The lowermost display of the Nintendo DS is overlaid with a resistive touchscreen, which registers pressure from one point on the screen at a time, averaging multiple points of contact if necessary

Really? Won't that muck up a lot of games?

Maybe DSi only ones will make use of the full screen and regular DS games will just use the 3" like GameBoy games on GBA.

Yea, but GBA games are no longer a problem as you loose that asset with the DSI, although it plays music, but im not sure that was a smart move by nintendo. Its basicly a psp with a built in camara and doesnt use disks. I loved nintendo when they used their own ideas. Not for this :[

Well, they're the ones implementing SD Support & Built-In camera before any other company. But for them removing the GBA port, where's the love for Pokémon & Guitar Hero.
