[DS] Nintendo Announces DSi - What?

I own a Game Boy Color, Original Game Boy Advance, and DS Fat.

The Advance is pretty much useless because I play GB/GBC games on the GBC (since it's brighter), and Advance games on the DS.

Without the GBA slot, I'd only be looking for two things: smaller size, and the two screens being closer together, which they obviously didn't bother with.
After playing games like Contra 4 which play both at once, I get kinda frustrated because I still have trouble considering the two as one entity.
Smaller size, because, well, yeah. I have an organizer on my Emu card, and would like to be able to carry the DS around without it bugging me.

Without a GBA slot, though, I'm unable to play GBA carts or even emulate it (unless new emulation advances are made).
I'd consider buying a GB Micro, but they're just too fucking small to realistically play comfortably, although I've never seen one in real life.

So since I missed the DSLite, I might buy this. Then again, I might just buy a pocket rolodex.

Additional Spam:
Oh yeah, the internets business. That'll be nice.

Unless they have the hardware block currently existing flash carts, I doubt it'll slow that business down.

Not much browsing is done on DS anyways. Without an extra ROMpack for the GBA slot (which is also required to emulate GBA), Opera doesn't really function. I've yet to get one, OR try the commercial Opera package, so I can't comment on how well they work, but I've heard it sucks enough to not be worth the trouble.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I'm kinda miffed that they keep cutting the backwards compatibility, or they just opt to port it to a brand new extra purchase (micro).

But I suppose this is their idea of making us pay for games more than once, via DS cart reprints, or download (more likely).

I wonder if the DS is naturally capable of reading High Capacity SD card from it's original port technology, because that would solve the problems of DS games being only 128 mb or smaller.

How ya doing, buddy?

Well, my hands sometime cramp pretty bad using my GBC. I'm not a little kid anymore. Hell, My shoulders almost always ache when I play my DS or anything for over an hour, due to holding them out in front of me. But I suppose that personal.
I guess I just went by measurements on a website, but they might've been wrong.

And I didn't say you couldn't download GBA games. My wondering is if they're building GBA hardware into the DSi still (since they have the extra RAM for browsing, apparently), or they're going to have to port every game to DS hardware.
