    Everyone has been assuming it was going to be much harder to hack and run unauthorized code on it, but I don't think Nintendo ever said so.

    So I'm unsure how they lost here, for all we know its just as easy to do stuff like this as before.

    And if theres a internet browser, how do we know they didn't just set up a flash website running that and just went to it and ran the browser in full screen?

    Well then it would depends on the website, because we all know how many security flaws are in ie.

    Normally an R4 or other such device won't run on a DSi. This could involve a modded flash cart, an SD card or a combination of the two. But hey, at least something potentially works.

    It's the new DS unit that released in Japan on 11/1. The re-done DS Lite no longer has a GBA slot (but has a SD memory card spot) for downloading games ect from the new DS Ware network. There is also a camera built in on the case, and I believe that it has some kind of music player as well. It's competition for the PSP in the non gaming format.
    Because it makes no attempt to be great, it is therefore extremely great.

    not surprised, it's not too different from normal DS hardware, just another excuse for nintendo to squeeze more money out of the same damned hardware by giving it small upgrades that the system should have had in the first place.
