Considering that plenty of folks are willing to shell out for a DSi, this makes perfect sense; it's clearly too soon to release a new handheld. However, when the time comes, it would be splendid if Nintendo could find a design that doesn't cry out for immediate improvement. The original GBA and DS were so utterly foul that refinements were inevitable, leaving early adopters with an ugly lump of plastic.
The cynical monster in me reckons that Nintendo banks on hardware revisions as a way of maintaining interest in old hardware, but maybe that's not the case. Maybe they geniunely thought the launch DS was a good looking machine.... (it could have been a lot worse)

Monkey Island and Fate of Atlantis? This is good news :)
How long until I can play Grim Fandango on my DS?
