Nintendo DSi will be released in April

The DSi, which is already available in Nintendo’s home country of Japan, will cost $170 and come in two colors, black and blue. This is the third iteration of the world’s most popular handheld gaming system. The DS Lite, its predecessor, costs $130.
The new handheld is slimmer than the DS Lite, sports bigger screens and includes two digital cameras — one facing outward and one pointing at the user when the device is flipped open. Nintendo likened them to a set of eyes.
“If the touch screen gave Nintendo DS a sense of feel and the microphone allowed it to hear, the two cameras give Nintendo DSi the sense of sight,” the company said in a statement.
Using the DSi, players can manipulate photos, mix images and share them with friends.
The launch comes as millions of people are turning to mobile games — on the DS and on smart phones like Apple’s iPhone — to pass their time.
The DSi also includes a memory card slot for users to store photos, music and games, which players will be able to purchase and download through the device’s Wi-Fi wireless connection. A stereo headphone output on the outside of the DSi lets users listen even when the system is flipped shut.
Australian/New Zealand release date, which is April 2nd.  So yes the Australian folks get it quicker.
