Re: itouch or dsi

iTouch.

To be honest, if you've already got a ds then it's not worth getting the dsi as all it includes is a camera which is like 0.4megapixels anyway which is rubbish. iTouch is way more fun.

Re: itouch or dsi

iTouch!

I have an iPod Touch and it has a lot of features. You can go on the internet (WiFi of course), it holds a ton of apps, music, photos, videos and more! I love mine!

Re: itouch or dsi

If you already have a ds don't bother getting a dsi. Get a cheap $400 computer for yourself, it can do more than the itouch and ds combined.

Re: itouch or dsi

The ipod touch would be a better choice. You have internet (I think) and can download apps, blah blah blah, and on the DSi you do little more than just sit around playing games you already have. If you are more into gaming, do consider the DSi, then. If general or music, iTouch by far.

DSi can record audio (so you can just record music onto the DSi) has internet already installed (just like the Wii's internet connection it can go on Youtube and stuff) and more! Plus you can use an SD Card! It's pretty sweet. And it's in stores now, why do ya think that commericals are out?

Re: itouch or dsi

Ok now you really shouldn't compare the two. DSi is more of a game system while the touch is more of a PDA (it wants to be an MP3 player but it's not). If you want to do more gaming, get the DSi but if you want some PDA-like features (calendar, internet [DSi has this too though], stocks, weather, todo, and email) then get the touch.

Re: itouch or dsi

hmm, I don't know. Like relyt12101 said, they're for different things. But the thing I don't agree on is that the touch wants to be an mp3 player. It's the best mp3 player I've ever had. I don't know, it depends on what you want it for.

Awesome, now that I know that you already have a ds I think that's probably the better choice. What do you think of it?

the dsi is already out in the US, and it's not 0.4 megapixles, it's like 2-4 and it has a camera on the inside and on the outside.  It has a new menu, bigger screen, the power button is inside instead of outside, and there's a DSi shop channel (similar to the wii shop channel) with dsi points. 
It's really cool, you should have gotten the DSi, oh well, the iTouch is awesome also  tongue

iTouch.  If you have a DS, and don't have an iPhone, GET IT. My cousin has one, and she has a lot of fun with it.
