My expectations:
* The Nintendo Conference on October 2nd will be all about the DS Next. I had expected a storage solution for the Wii to be the big thing from the conference, but now I'm doubtful, again, that one is coming soon.
* The GBA slot is still there. The GBC didn't stop playing all GB games, and Nintendo aren't idiots. The GBA slot will still be in this new model.
* Some type of Wi-Fi video chat, either in a specific game or as an addition to Pictochat, will be put in to this model. Friend Codes or another type of external verification will be required for however it's implemented.
* SD cards will allow the movement of VC games from a Wii to be played on the DS Next. Not N64 games, though.
* The DS Lite is not going away. This will probably become the "Pro" model with the DS Next being the "Elite."
* I will finally buy a new DS and pass my non-Lite DS on to someone else.
