Default What's the difference?

Hey guys!
I have nintendo DSi.
could anyone explain what is the difference between the Nintendo DS and Nintendo DSi?
(aside from not being able to play GBA games on DSi)

Thanks in advance!

There are a few noticeable differences, first the screen on the DS is 3 inches and the DSi is 3.25 inch, the weight difference is only a measly 4g with the DSi being lighter than the DS.

The big difference has to be the battery life, the DSi will probably only last around 10 hours of play time at a normal brightness while the DS can usually get up to 15 hours of play time on a single charge.

The DSi also has a SD memory card slot where as the DS didn't have one

So actually There are pros and cons on both of the models..
I guess choosing DSi over DS Lite is not so bad of a choice if I don't use GBA games anyway..

DSi has higher Screen Res, and Sound. It also has the cameras, and DSiWare. No doubt that they will be bring VC to DS, since as you can notice on the Wii VC there isn't a Gameboy category.
