The Nintendo DSi has two cameras, which can be used to take pictures or play games. DSiWare can also only be played on a Nintendo DSi system. Plus, the DSi can record, play, and edit music and sounds.
Externally, the DSi weighs about as much as a DS Lite, but is slightly larger and has larger screens. DSi systems can use SD cards, but have no slot for Game Boy Advance games. The DSi stylus is longer than that of a DS or DS Lite, and the battery life is about the same as that of a DS.
