Brett's 2p'orth: All a bit uninspiring. Lower battery life, no Game Boy Advance slot, imperceptibly slimmer/smaller/lighter. The cameras and SD slot indicate that either Nintendo are trying to move the DS away from being a pure games machine, or (more likely) they are planning games that utilise video, and allow saves/upgrades.
