Nintendo has just unveiled the highly-anticipated DSi portable game console. The Nintendo DSi is a refresh of the old Nintendo DS, but there have been some changes. The DSi has lost its GBA slot and is consequently a quarter-inch thinner in size than its predecessor. Translation: No Guitar Hero.
The Nintendo DSi also possesses a front-facing camera of 3 megapixels, which is about the same as the cameras on most mobile phones. The Nintendo DSi will also play music, giving your iPod a run for its money.
