ds= 33mhz arm 7 & 67mhz arm 9 with 4 mb ram

DSi= 66mhz arm 7 & 133mhz arm 9 with 16mb ram (nintendo also confirm more efficient/effective performance) DSi only bigger faster game carts are coming and dsi premium games via download………….

Saw some shots taken using the camera and was pleasantly surprised. The Dsi Camera looks actually more impressive than I imagined it would be.

Nintendo wouldnt want the split the market by having DS's with different core specs. Its more likely battarys are down due to the confirmed bigger,brighter screen, and wifi. It does have a bit more internal ram, though. (as Opera browser confirms). I’m highly skeptical the CPU is beefed up.

If you are talking about my demo I indeed don't use feature tracking, but rectangle tracking instead. And I reiterate, 300Mhz smartphone is enough to run tracker, game itself and simple OpenGL graphics. Of cause N95 which I use now have 3d accelerator, but my demo also run, albeit not so spectacular on the old Nokia 6600 , with 107Mhz CPU and without 3d acceleration (<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7oGtqSyImbI" rel="nofollow">check here</a>). I think DSi is definitely more powerful than 107 mhz ARM. @ Blair

It appears that all of these demos are using image processing tricks, and requiring the person to line up regions on the screen with things in the image. That's not to say that won't be fun, but it still doesn't appear to be much in the AR sense. It looks interesting, but I don’t see any indication of feature tracking or detection here.
