ONLY BEAUTIFUL WHITE PEOPLE CAN BUY A 3DS!

Consider: the two-row icon interface there on the home screen is not the default one, it's a power-user toggle, step two of a three-step optional gridding process. The default view is a single horizontal row of icons ala the DSi, with a bubble that takes up the second row and identifies the currently selected software. Hopefully that is less offensive to our UX Experts here.
The shop looks fine, though not as nice as the actual firmware. It's a 400x improvement over the Wii and DSi shops at least. And yeah I am pretty sure that screen indicates a Pilotwings demo, I was trying to read what it said in that video that was floating around today that had the OOT footage with Hyrule Field. The icon at least indicates "Download" in some capacity, as it's the same icon used to download Mario Land. A 3D demo is just what we need to make up for the apparently 2D videos in the shop.
I'm honestly shocked so many people are reacting to these for the first time, virtually everything in these interface shots has been public knowledge for months.

aren't these shots all of the shop and not of the OS?
i think that's what is confusing a lot of people.

Those lifestyle shots really do the system a lot of good in the looks department. It still confuses me when I read posts saying that it's nearly as ugly or even worse the DSphat.
The UI looks a little confusing for the online service, but it looks like it will be a step up from the Wii at least.

I think the OS looks fine, it's like anything once you get used to it, it usually flows pretty well.
I just hate waiting more than month! Hell, Black/White is a long enough wait and then this is even longer.
Patience is not a virtue I possess.

You can trust me when I say that : visually, the 3DS is flawless. I had low expectations when I considered the 133 ppi upper screen but in action, some games look baffling, especially DoA.
Zelda is cool but a bit angular, nintendogs is nintendogs, Ridge Racer is not übercrap (or maybe it is compared to the others), SF IV looks like a home console version.
Mixed-bag in general but first-tier mixed bag. I guess you can't expect a good drawing distance in any game given the screen resolution but you'll enjoy beautiful effects and steady 60 FPS in visually attractive games. And that's what made me reconsider the purchase of a 3DS. Seriously, it is a very good handheld console.

I really just don't get what's confusing about the OS or why it's "ugly".
The Icons do things when you press them. They're laid out evenly and they have vivid pictures that easily convey what they are for.

No, really. I came in expecting Wii-clean. Left feeling like they shoveled the UI design to some intern.

Those pictures of them having the ds sticking out the pockets of the bags seems like a great example! Asking for people to nick them.
Looking forward to seeing the OS in person for sure.

I don't like it personally. Doesn't feel very sleek or well designed. To my eyes it looks like it's geared towards children.

Did Nintendo actually acknowledge the existence of left-handed gamers?!
