I won't say that I'm surprised about a new DS, the DS Lite has been around for more than 2 years and doing pretty well on the market. Nintendo is trying to change the pace of things from time to time and that is not a bad thing,in fact, this new DS they have been talking about does have some good changes, adding music playability is a great addition,i would love to listen to my music on the go and at the same time play games, camera functionality on the other hand seems a bit too far, you could by a mobile phone for that and it will definitely do the trick.

This also keeps me wondering if i should get a DS Lite, I'm determined on buying one i just don't want to regret after buying it.

I still have my fat chunky ds....and quite frankly, I'm fine with it. 

DS Lite is pretty solid. I was a sucker to trade in my original DS for it back a few years ago. :P

I would definitely buy a DS if I could shove my music onto it.

Picking up a DS Lite now would be just dumb.  Then again, I have been saying that for about a year or so now, so maybe I don't know Nintendo as well as I thought.

Meh.  I'd go with the Lite over the DSi anyday.  The battery life is far superior on the Lite than the "i" and you lose the GBA slot.  (Huge deal for me, maybe not for you)  A cellphone could take better pictures and most everyone has some form of MP3 player already, and considering the battery life of the DSi is worse, I really don't ever see myself using it as a music player.  Also, considering the garbage on Wiiware and how long it took for the VC to get some Actual GOOD games, I can't even fathom how terrible the DSi Store or whatever they're calling it is going to be...  Lite FTW!  :P
