Just like pdas and the iPhone, the DS uses a virtual keyboard on the touch screen where you can tap on the letters.

Developers that have spent time to support the GBA slot, rumble, or just the basic DS hardware limitations are shat on because Nintendo decided to reveal a DS 1.2, which changes the formula. Much like Apple who routinely unveils a new iPod that changes the accessory contacts and screws over accessory manufacturers. Yes, the new DS can play DS software, so for consumers, it's just another product to purchase. But for the devs, this is rather bitter sweet. For new games that have been in development before this announcement, they'll be criticized for not utilizing the new hardware or in many cases, tack it on to jump in with the fad. Personally, I think a hardware revision should have maintained all the functionality of the predecessors but more streamlined, not removing and replacing hardware. They might as well just name the unit something else entirely so it won't conflict with the current DS line. I’m surprised that the DSi is so similar to the DS/Lite.

But PSP is definately more impressive as a far as graphics, and using other media is concerned. Check out Buzzillions for a comparison, both are well liked by their users. The DS is ranked #2 while the PSP is ranked #5 in top video game consoles http://www.buzzillions.com/dz_1994369_sony_playstation_portable_psp_2001_slim_reviews http://www.buzzillions.com/dz_179497_both_boys_girls_nintendo_ds_lite_metallic_reviews Yep, DS is a good gaming platform (I love the Prof. Layton series).

Overall, it's better than the DS in terms of.. graphics and performance. The Psp is a portable media station, the DS... well... some games are addictive. Plus its cheaper to mod a PSP, you can do it yourself, no hardware required. simply put: DS> more interactive (there's a lot of styles of playing.. dragging with pen, poking... blowing into the mic, and just the normal style) PSP> just buttons. Anywho, this DS has a camera, it'd be awesome if it was used in games... like scavenger hunt or something, that'd be such a cool game, it's such a good idea, I should start working on developing it hahaahah.
