DS redesign

It had to happen - the Nintendo DS is getting a facelift. The DS Lite will be around two-thirds the size of the original DS and more than 20 percent lighter. It will release in Japan in March though there is no news on Europe or US yet. So, yet another hasty redesign of a Nintendo handheld. Of course, it was the right thing to do - there's no point in producing software that appeals to adults (Brain Training) when they have to play it on an embarrassingly juvenile looking device. But it would be nice in the future if they could get the design right first time.
