    I have a DS and an iPod Touch and it confuses me that my iPod Touch has better graphics capabilities then my DS Lite. The DS Lite is easily the mass of four of my iPod Touches. What do they fill the DS with, rocks?

    Sorry if this seems like a stupid question, it just confuses me.

    - Buttons
    - GBA and DS cart slots
    - Much longer battery life = bigger battery

    yeah, that makes sense. :p

    Still seems like they could shave some weight off though.

    The engineers at apple are gods.

    The thing is engineered to be as small as possible. The DS is obviously gonna be help for at least 30 minutes. It should be comfortable to hold for hours at a time. The iPhone/Touch is only gonna be used for music (just shove it in your pocket), movies (just plop it on your lap, prop it up with a finger and thumb), or games (you're only gonna play 20 minutes, tops, at least, that's what they think). The DS is built for comfort. The more you have to wrap your hands around, the better it feels (do NOT take that out of context).

    Yeah, I see what you mean. I love just taking my new DS out of my pouch for it and opening and closing it :p
