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.

Based on that picture it doesn't look like the stylus is going to be any longer than the current one.  The, I'm assuming, battery cover keeps it from extending to the full length of the device...  at least thats what it looks like.

I wonder why they changed the charger?
anyway very cool that you can reposition the pins on the charger

eh... smaller size, needs smaller charger connector thingy. It looks to be the same power connector as found on my GB Micro. 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...

Hopefully they fix the volume problems that seem to plague the handhelds. It always seems as though there is a dead zone at the lower end of the slider. It's like TOO LOUD >> TOO LOUD >> silence.

That is not a cheap prototype, is the real thing.

I like how everyone on that blog is complaining it looks like crap because he took a picture of it with his crappy camera, cut it out of the natural background, and uploaded it onto a pure white background.

That's a white balanced version.
