yea i don't really see the point of a camera. but i'm sure someone somewhere will manage to incorporate it into gameplay somehow.
some people aren't too happy about the loss of the gba slot but i guess that's preference. others of course are wondering what happens to the whole homebrew scene and flashcart industry. with onboard memory (i mean loaded in with memory cards) it should make the whole thing redundant.
no more using whatever software you want on whichever hardware. well, until it gets cracked of course.
the english version are not expected to release in this fiscal year so the earliest release date is not before april 2009. add to that the time it will take for the homebrew community to flourish, we're probably talking 10 months to a year off. so it might not be such a bad idea to consider an nds lite after all.
