Two of Nintendo Japan's product Web pages were just updated with new video, images, and details on the DSi, the new dual screen portable set to launch on the 1st of November in Japan.
First, Nintendo.co.jp was updated with a special DSi Flash breakout page that gives details (in Japanese) on the new features of this system. Visit the site and check out the rightmost link: you'll be able to see and control a side-by-side comparison of a DS Lite and a DSi.
Their other site, a DS-specific one called Touch-DS, has been updated with two videos, one of which is above. It details some of the new built-in toys, like the sound warper or the photo editor. The new Web browser looks pretty robust! The other video (below the jump) is a quick commercial to get the Japanese excited for the release in a little over a week.
What do you think about these new features? Are you more interested in a DSi now?

You CAN play imported ds games, its still region free.
You CAN'T play DSi games that are geographically dependent meaning DSi games that use location based software. Do you really want these DSi games? If you do you're more of douchebag than I thought you were.
However you are right about the lack of GBA, however since I use R4 to play copied GBA and DS games, this doesn't bother me.
I'm completely positive we'll see R4 software on the DSi, meaning you'll get to play your GBA games on the SD cards, something i've been doing for the last 2 years.
To our benefit we no longer need adapters, since the DSi has built in SD card slot. This is probably one my fav features, aside from the larger screen.
BTW I've seen the DSi in person, and yes the screen is noticeably bigger.
Is it worth getting if you already have a DS lite, I don't think so.
I know this may not be the place to ask but how are you playing gba games on an R4 without a slot 2 flash device? Hence which would be impossible on the DSi since it has no slot 2.
you sound like an asshole.
eternalplayer is a far more valuable member then you btw.
LOL!
also i dont think i'll get this until they make it cheepy
