Supposedly, the new DS model will feature a larger screen, built-in camera, music playback, improved Wi-Fi and SD card support.  It’s also been hinted that both screens will become touch screens.

This all looks like Nitnendo is looking to expand the functions of the device, from a standalone gaming machine to a more functional device, more like an iPod Touch.  Sources say Nintendo also plans to introduce a Wi-Fi service called Nintendo Spot that may offer local information, such as movie/plane/train schedules and weather reports.

The Japanese price is said to be under 20,000 Yen, which likely means a sub-$200 price for U.S. and Canada.
