i recently purchased the DSi as a replacement for my old nintendo ds lite, and handed my old ds down to my daughter to stop her stealing the others from her sisters. i was excited to see what the DSi had to offer and have to be honest on first impressions when opening the packaging was pleased with the new look and feel of the new matt finish and slimmer feel, however upon first switching the console on and exploring the new functions found it a little tricky on how to play with pictures taken with the camera ( please be aware my knowledge of anything "techy" is very limited) but with a fair amount of practise and rummaging around soon got to grips with it i have to be honest the camera and functions and the music/ recording functions have been mostly appealing to my 9 year old daughter who rarely plays with her DS lite, so for me except for the look and feel of the console i personally haven't reaped much benefit other than the kudos of having the latest gadget in front of my kids mates, i do feel the the web browser is almost pointless it is very slow and hard to actually view much, in light of todays technology with mobile phones and wireless laptops i can't see the point there are much better ways to access the internet. the screen however is a massive improvement on the old ds lite and the sound is better the control buttons are also greatly improved.
