"I" as a prefix == old and busted.

"I" as a suffix == the new hotness.

[via Kotaku] Much like the Canon XTi and XSi cameras, where "i" might "improved, marginally", so the Nintendo DS has an updated version, the DSi, going on sale in Japan for $180 this November 1st. Thinner now without the old GBA slot, or "Guitar Hero Slot" as I identify it now, and with a 3mp camera, the DSi's main desireable feature is the larger screens. One hopes they're better, as well, but given Nintendo's penchant for cheaping out on hardware that is just good enough, I don't have high hopes.

I do expect Nintendo to do something utterly amazing with the camera, though: give them a new input device, and they'll give you a new game genre. That's why I love Nintendo.
