At least on the Wii you could play youtube videos, but on the DSi you can't even do that, let alone more advanced things like Hulu.

You really thought you'd be able to watch Hulu on your DSi?!

I think it isn't an unreasonable want from the system. They probably just took the Opera Browser made last year and just installed it on the system. Little to no extra coding and optimization done.

Actually I think it is worse then Wii internet browser, things just don't scroll right for me

Maybe an industrious company will create a better browser and put it up on DSiShop?

It is worse than the Wii browser in some ways but better in others. As far as Hulu support, I wouldn't say I expected it to be there but I did hope that it was and I wasn't sure... but now I am. But the real disappointment was that even youtube doesn't work, and that did work on the Wii...
is your sanity...

I can't watch Hulu or get flash on my advanced iPhone! You really thought the DSi would?

^ Sorry but LOL!
The iPhone is anything but advanced, technology-wise. :P

Oh and back on topic, yes, upgrading from a DS Phat to a DSi is probably worth it IMO.

I'm not going to upgrade to a DSi until they do handheld VC games. Even then, I'm going to keep my DS lite and phat bc the phat is signed by the Brain Age guy, but it doesn't work any more, and I still want to play GBA games.

I plan on sticking with my DSPhat until the real next handheld, it just seems like a waste of money (which I have very little of) to upgrade.

Without any killer app DSiWare or DSi exclusive games I don't blame you.

Am I the only person who thinks calling the DS Hevy 'phat' is a massive disservice to the legendary device? **** I hate the word 'phat' it's liek it's the fucking 80s or something. Hevy meets all the criteria Lite meets.
