I found out a few months ago that a 3rd Nintendo DS is coming out. It will be the successor to the Nintendo DS Lite that my sister curently has. A new SD card slot is utilized for external storage of pictures and downloaded software and to play AAC audio. The front slot for Game Boy Advance (GBA) cartridges has been removed, thus removing the unit's backward compatibility and its compatibility with accessories that require the GBA slot, such as the Nintendo DS Rumble Pack; as well as the Guitar Hero: On Tour and Guitar Hero: On Tour Decades grip, which is essential for those games. The removal of backward compatibility also prevents games such as Pokémon Diamond and Pearl from accessing saved data stored on GBA cartridges. The DSi has 256 MB of internal flash memory. Photos taken using the DSi can be synced to the Wii's Photo Channel. The Nintendo DSi is able to connect to an online store similar to the Wii Shop Channel, called the DSi Shop. Here, using Nintendo Points (previously known as Wii Points), users will be able to download DSiWare games and applications to the internal memory or the SD card of the user's DSi system. Each DSi that accesses the DSi Shop prior to March 2010 will receive 1,000 Nintendo Points. The applications will either be free, or cost 200, 500, or 800+ (marked with a 'Premium' tag) Nintendo Points.
The DSi Shop was launched with the DSi Browser, a web browser being made available for free download.

Here's more info on the new DS:

    I don't see the point of it. Why can't we just keep our DS Lite?

        Because it doesn't have a built-in browser, MP3 player, or other stuff (hard drive?).

        Normally I'd agree with this, but all the new features are enough to get me wanting it. Of course, I would end up buying it anyway.

            Wait, what do you mean "Why can't we just keep our DS Lite?" anyway? You don't even have a DS!

              I know... but... I don't know... uh... just seems like, do we really need an upgraded DS or something? I mean, I guess it doesn't matter, or something like that.

                    I remember making a topic about this new DSI a while back. Some cool new features I must say, but nothing to wear it makes me want to go get one. I am just fine with what I've got.

                        I'm sticking with my old DS too. Speaking of the old DS, here's a video of it at E3 2004:
