I know everyone will say Virtual Handheld so lets get that outta the way

1. Real DS demos. I mean a whole new menu system for the DSi only as far as download play. For DSi systems only, separate the demo's we download from stores or Nintendo channel into a separate section of the DSi menu where you can actually store the demo's on the DSi's internal memory so you can keep them.

2. Make a Nintendo Channel for the DSi. With DS, DSiWare game trailers and demo downloads

3. Make the SDHC card slot read more than 2.5GBs of data. To my knowledge, at least DSi Sound won't read more than 2GBs or so of music off the card.

4. some way (goes for Wii too i guess) to transfer your DSiware purchases to another DSi if you upgrade to XL, change colors, whatever. Even if this means you have to link your original DSi's serial number through Club Nintendo, then link all DSiWare purchases to Club Nintendo, then go on CN and say you own a new DSi and add its Serial Number , something some way to do this. Nintendo is so big on upgrading the handheld yet we're tied to our DSi's and can't upgrade.

5. DSiWare demo's as well, and DSi shop needs to be revamped to be more organized and more pleasing to navigate.

Your ideas?

There needs to be an Auto setting for wireless communications. Am I the only one who turns it off to save battery, finds myself in the middle of a game needing it to be turned on, having to press reset, go into the Settings menu and turn it on manually then start the game again at the last save?

I think DSi needs a Youtube app. So every DSi users can watch a video in their hand with just a one touch. Am I right?

first, give me a way to switch between/skip musics without having to take it off my pocket and open it. then give it a DSi menu, like the home menu for the wii. add a "turn wireless on/off" and some basic things to tune your DS without having to leave the game, like visual representations of the brightness and sound settings.

I think another way to improve would be to change the DSi shop business model. Make the profits system for devs simpler, like the Apps Store where 70% of profits go to devs and only 30% goes to Apple.

Developers would love that and would flock to DSiWare, at the very least giving DSiWare alot more quality iPhone ports

I'm sorry Yea i thnk you're right. Well i guess make it see more than 3,000 songs. Thats like,.....8GBs?

I'd like the DSi to recongize anything other than AAC. I really hate how AAC sounds, i get that its a small format and thats nice but if i could get even Apple Lossless that'd be great

I think DSi needs an app that allows music to be played while playing games(of which the audio/background music can be muted).

VH and the ability to save DS Download items. Oh, and the ability to take SNES and NES games on the go.
