The DSi will become available in Japan on Nov. 1 for 18900 yen ($180) and will also be able to surf the web and catalog your photos in a flipbook or port them to the Wii. Nintendo will also launch a DSi Shop where you can download titles for free, or purchase them for either 200, 500, or 800 points (DSi comes with 1000 points free).

According to the Nikkei business, Nintendo is working on a new version of its popular NDS handheld, one that lets users snap photos (and possibly let those be used in-game) and play music, allowing it to compete with the iPod or cell phones.
