Nintendo DSi
I only actually got a DS lite this year but one thing that I like over the Sony PSP is that it is very much built on the more is less approach. Everything is very simple and works well. This new DSi from Nintendo builds on the DS with some good and bad features:
- 12% thinner than the DS lite
- 0.3 megapixel camera
- Larger 3.25″ screen (DS lite has 3″)
- SDHC slot – which can be used to playback audio
- 256MB of internal flash memory
- New DSi shop
- Upgradable firmware
However due to the smaller design the battery is not quite as good and the Guitar hero on tour grip isn’t compatible due to the GBA slot being removed. Otherwise it’s a great new handheld console that will no doubt be as successful. The DSi has recently been released in Japan and will hit the UK and US in Spring 2009
