As you may know, Nintendo loves to tinker with its handhelds.  There were–count em’– six different versions of the Game Boy.  This is the third version of the DS unit and it’s stacked with new features.

First, there is a camera–actually two of them–one on the inside and one on the outside (for more information regarding the DSi camera see previous article titled, “Nintendo DSi: The Camera”).  There is also the new capability of storing and playing music files; which, like the camera, you can also tinker with.  These incredibly two new features make the DSi a more complete handheld system.

The device itself resembles the DS lite, except for a few modifications.  The speakers are now oblong; making for better sound.  The power button has been moved to the face of the DSi, just under the new, flatter control pad on the left.   Instead of the glossy finish on the DS lite, it has a matte finish that reduces smudging.  The screens are slightly  bigger, and the gadget itself is a bit more thin.  Unfortunately, there is no more GBA card slot anymore, however, there is a new SD card slot for saving and transferring files.  The menu screen is similar to the Nintendo Wii and there is a new wireless-indicator light, letting you know if your Wi-Fi connection is active.   Lastly, the volume control is now a button instead of a slider and has been moved from the bottom to the left side of the DSi.
