Title: DSL Cheap Prototype Pics!

The top link is to a higher quality PDF. Courtesy of Engadget. Keep in mind this is a cheaply produced prototype model, not a production model. It was also photographed very poorly. The final unit will be much tighter in assembly and a brighter, cleaner, uniform colour. Basically this just gives you a peek at the design! Looks great.

anyway very cool that you can reposition the pins on the charger

Or maybe they are attempting to make the Micro's power connector the new link cable / power charge connector. For all future handhelds....

You can on the current DS's adapter too...
