This thread fails.
You need to look at the *new* capabilities of the DSi (over the DS), and they are significant - not cherry pick random facts (and make incorrect conclusions):
1/ it costs too much=aleady a fail
The DS is selling like hotcakes, and this only costs 10%-15% more (and less than a PSP) - for all the new features.
2/ launchs with 2 colors why not copy the colors of ds lite
The DS lite launched with ONE colour :P. Launching with more than 2 colours would just be silly, it would impact the manufacturing capacity of the DSi at launch.
3/ the cameras horrible
How so, have you USED them? A 3MP camera (external) is better than many phones or other devices - and is more than enough IMO. 300kP should be enough for video chat (more than enough!).
4/ the sreen size increase is pointless come on .25 more inches
Yeah, bigger screens always equate to "fail" :P Now a smaller screen, THAT would be an improvement ;)
5/ NO GBA SLOT
Meh, I really don't care. I have clocked hundreds of hours on my DS - and less than 1% using the GBA slot (if that). I don't have a single game that requires it.
...
The only negative so far on the DSi (and the most important) is the battery life - something you failed to mention. And I'm still sure there is some "secret" to that (like keeping the WiFi always active, and acting as booster/bounce stations or something).
The music controls, the cameras, the appstore, the new built-in functionality - win all the way.
(PS - I was using my DS today, and realised just how significant the changes to the "underside" of the device are - it may now be missing screw points completely, and might be *impossible* to open once manufactured - without a saw anyway :P Not certain of this at all, but it would be a heavy strike against piracy/homebrew if true)
