eh
I'm not sure, I'm happy with my DSL right now and I don't play my DS much.
Maybe, Maybe not.

When I got my first DSL signed by Weird Al I put it on my trophy shelf and got another. Recently I got my 2nd one signed by Anette Olzon (lead singer of nightwish). So I have been saving up to buy ANOTHER new DSL. I will probably wait for the DSi to come to the US and get that instead.
But since it has the built in web browser that means it has to have some kind of hardware upgrade over the DSL; which means that homebrew developed for it could take advantage of it and we could get some better stuff then what is currently possible on the DS/L

for some reason, the DSi looks a lot sexier than the ds lite. so maybe... if it really is ARRR friendly.
but then again, for a portable guitar hero's sake, nah...

No way in hell...
1) offers barely anything new. The Pros do not outweigh the cons
2) too thin... I can barely hold my NDS-L comfortably for a lengthy amount of time
3) 3 megapixel camera... mwhuh... my phone does better...
4) too expensive
5) offers nothing my NDS-L can do with homebrew / flashcard
6) specialty games that utilize Slot2 become redundant
7) doesn't offer more processing power, so doesn't offer better graphics on the bigger screens
8) games might start utilizing the inbuilt extra ram, but I bet the rampack will be used for compatibility on the NDS-L (given time, we'll prolly be able to hack our roms into working them with the rampack or slot2 flashcards anyway)

really depends if I can fly the jolly rodger from it really......
also, I am guessing it will never be able to play GBA games, and an emulator will be out of the questions.

Nope. I'd never upgrade a working product with one that does the same thing unless there was a glaring flaw with the original, which there isn't. The only thing I don't like about the Lite is the corners digging into your hand while playing and I can live with that, otherwise I'm still pretty damn impressed with the shiny little guy.
I'm the kind of person who doesn't mind owning old models, they may have less functions but doesn't matter as long as it does what I need it to. Even if the extra functions are awesome I can live without it. Just how I am. But to address it properly, well in this case I've got a camera, don't use my DS outside of the house and the Lite already has web browsers (legit or otherwise). So no.
In fact I'm not even sure I'll buy the successor to the DS when that comes out in a few years. I've still got games on my Micro that I haven't finished, only so many games someone can play in a lifetime

i probably wont end up getting this, unless my dsl breaks.
i want nintendo to come out with a ds with double the resolution on the screens (a little bigger), more ram for more graphically intense games, and a bitchin processor that will make the psp fanboys defacate themselves =)
but really, who cares about 2 crappy cameras anyways...
does the ds even have enough processing power to run voicechat and crappy .3mp video at the same time?

I would get it if I could ARRRR it.
If not, then my Ds lite is good for me, it has longer battery

Even if I could ARRRR it I still definitely not buying it, around $150 is a LOT and I could care less for a camera and probably stretched rez (doesn't matter if resolution is higher anyway..), I'd rather just buy a high-rez $150 camera, which I won't...
Hell yea!
if wanted to play GBA games, GH or any game that require the 2nd slot, i still have my DS
and i CAN buy my games if i ever needed/wanted to, so no problem for me

No video out, no NDS-GBA linking, not a chance. This is a stupid move on Nintendo's part, IMO.
You dropped the ball on this one, Nintendo.

Ok I think most of you are fretting about how this is going to be a new system phasing out the DSL and the phat DS, you should read this article Here and it states that it isn't an upgrade but merely a sister product (ie the gameboy micro) though it might be a little more successful than the micro. I'm also thinking that maybe it has built-in rumble? and I have an idea. Many of you are going nuts about the slot-2 being taken away, a few angry that you can not use guitar hero: on tour, well you know how you can unscrew the cart that connects the guitar grip to the DS in order to use it with the DSL and phat DS. Well what if a small dongle is fitted into that slot which can wirelessly connect with with the DS, and a small dock add on can hold the guitar grip onto the iDS?
Personally I think the DS is trying to go the way between Xbox 360 and PSP due to the SD slot and Nintendo Points for the online shopping.
I don't know those are just my thoughts, and about buying it I might wait a few months after the release and get one as a toy after all I have 3 DSL's

No way. Not a chance in hell.
It sucks. No GBA support, useless camera.
DS Ware and SD card that could have been added with a slot 1 cart.
Ugly-ish console that otherwise looks exactly like a DS Lite, just uglier.
Basically, it's pointless of them to even make the DSi. The only good feature could have been added with a slot 1 cart. And even the camera could have been added with a slot 1 cart. A built in camera on a handheld gaming console is USELESS.
