OK, so ive had my DSi for like 6 months already, right? well it wasnt until a few weeks ago that i finally realized just to what extent of AWESOME it reaches. seriously, its fuckin crazy! like, holy shit! its several things at once for me:

-My music player
-my gameboy
-second internet browser
-AND, (most importantly,) my animator.

I wanna talk for a minute about the DSi animation app.

It's a piece of shit when it comes to detail or color. it only has 3 color options: red, black and blue, and you can only use 2 colors in a given frame. you have to draw everything with your hands, which is kind of a good and bad thing. it makes for bad quality, but whatever youre doing comes out more the way you want it to. it has onion skinning and copying, plus plenty of different kinds of tools for your use, which really help. its very easy and fast, and you can include recorded sounds into an animation. you can store tons and tons of animations on it, but even if you have them on an sd card to save them on, you cannot upload them onto a computor. on the other hand, its free unlimited animation in your damn pocket! it's really good stuff, man.

the music player....... oh, man, it pisses me off. the music it plays... it playes very quietly. its a game system and therefor only capable of bringing its volume up to as loud as it could a game. very annoying. and, it can only play music if you have it on an sd card, and it has to be in the DSi. you cant actually keep music on the DSi itself..... at all. AND, to top it off, it cant play mp3 files. you have to download a damn mp3-mp4 converter, because the damn thing can only play mp4's. i mean, what the fuck?? have you ever even heard of an mp4?? WHATS THE FUCKING DIFFERENCE ANYWAY??? auugh!

the internet browser..... well, its not bad i suppose. it can only run so fast, but its not too slow. it can load just about any picture, but has absolutely NO flash or java player, so any videos are out of the question.

So really, the DSi is awesome, but only to a certain extent. it playes my music and is my only form of animation, and can browse the internet if given a connection, but none of these things it does very well. yea. oh, and i have that game Scribblenauts, and it's really sweet.
