The DSi (New Nintendo DS) Drops 1-6 Hours in Battery Life [Nintendo]
Gizmodo — ... The fine gents over at Kotaku have listed all of the DS Lite and newly announced DSi specs in a one-on-one showdown. We see all of the expected small upgrades—the screens are a tiny bit bigger, the case ever so slightly longer and thinner. But the big surprise? Battery life bites it big time. ...

DSi Drops GBA Support, Get Old DS If You Want Compatibility (Or Some Homebrew) [Nintendo]
Gizmodo — ... GBA backups (they only loaded from the now extinct GBA slot), but even if you were to load some sort of GBA emulation through the DS slot, chances are that the DS's processor wouldn't be fast enough to handle it (integrated GBA hardware processed these games before). Also, no GBA slot means that the lightly supported but excellent DS rumble pack and similar accessories are dead too.

SlashGear — ... , announced today, may be a bit more portable than its DS Lite predecessor - 12-percent thinner in fact - but if you’re expecting to use that portability to take it further afield for even more gaming then the estimated battery life ratings may be a disappointment.  While the DS Lite could last for 15-19hrs on a single charge at minimum brightness, that figure drops to 9-14hrs in the DSi; at highest brightness you’ll get a mere 3-4hrs from the DSi, whereas the DS Lite would have entertained you for 5-8hrs. ...

Let’s Comparing! DSi to DS Lite
Technology - Channel Feed — As we can see from the screenshot above, the screen for the DSi will be a bit bigger than the DS Lite’s. To be exact, 3.25 inches to 3 inches. In addition, charge time stands to be shorter…as does battery life. Oh, but my words mean nothing to you. You’d rather abandon me for some site that speaks in…numbers, right? You want those numbers. You want the cold, hard facts. Well, go to hell you goddamn harpy. I mean, Kotaku has them. I love you, babe. You know I don’t mean to hurt you. (Image copyright Nintendo. Source: ...
