The 2.8-inch QVGA screen may be quite tiny to read the entirety of Final Fantasy IV on, but they're going to be doing it in the back of a moving car. That helps, right?

SD card, mini USB, NTSC/PAL TV out, FM radio, voice recorder and stereo speakers round out the rest of this fantastic package. If I don't have kids in the next few years I'll just get this for myself at $88 each. [Chinavasion via Oh Gizmo via Uber Gizmo via Retro Thing]

One unnamed developer told the publication that its studio is having problems getting one of its upcoming games compatible with the Dsi's new hardware. Though the game plays fine on the regular DS, it freezes up when played on the Dsi and so Nintendo won't certify it.

Nintendo's response to everything has been that “All DS titles are compatible with Dsi” (except those that utilize the GBA slot—like Guitar Hero). But if games that haven't been released are already running into trouble, does that mean that several games already out there won't play nice on the company's next handheld?
