The touch screen features a tougher film cover for durability, and the included stylus is stored in the back of the unit.Microphone Port:

When inputting letters/words the Nintendo doesn't accept my printing of words. Tried different ways to print the letters and they were not accepted as well.
Nintendo DS November 17, 2008
A. Lynch (Autumn Mists, Honalee)
Since the introduction of the original Game Boy, commonly referred to by gamers as The Brick, Nintendo have owned the portable gaming market. They have managed to stay on top for a number of reasons, all of which apply to the DS just as much as they have any other system.
First, the physical DS Lite. The Nintendo DS was not an overly attractive system, and it was a bit big. The DS Lite is an attractive system. It's small enough to fit conveniently in your pocket or in your bag, so you can always have it with you, no matter where you are. The stylus fits securely in a slot on the side, and the only time that ever becomes a problem is if, like me, you tend to chew on pens or pencils, because you will chew on the stylus, and it wont lock into place. Fortunately, the DS comes with a spare, and if you lose both they are readily available for purchase.
The graphics are not PSP levels, it's true. They aren't close. But they still look great. And the touch screen and microphone add incredible layers to the game play. The new, more interactive direction Nintendo has been taking with the DS and the Wii is something to admire and to commend. I can't tell you how much fun it's made games for me. I love using the touch screen in clever and unexpected ways. The design possibilities are almost endless. That the DS also plays Game Boy Advanced games means you have an incredible library of spectacular games at your disposal.
If you are in the market for a portable system, this is the one.

An UnGamer's Game System November 16, 2008
Kristin Tomic (Newark, DE United States)
I am a girly-girl UnGamer. I'm intimidated by button combos, bewildered by cheat codes (where's the fun in THAT?), and a little terrified by the vast array of first-person-shooter and sportsy games out there. Since I'm also terrified of real guns and real sports, this isn't especially surprising. Things that do NOT terrify, bewilder, or intimidate me include crossword puzzles, trivia games, "sim" games, and Zelda. All of these things are, fortunately, available for the Nintendo DS Lite.
The DS Lite is perfect for the UnGamer - the person who thinks of gaming as a way to pass the time while on the bus or on a coffee break. Many of the games that are available for the DS Lite require only a stylus to interface, thus eliminately the need to remember tedious button combos. If you can use a pen, you can use the DS. The graphics on the games thsat I've played range from very good to breathtaking, and the sound effects mostly lack that piercing quality that drove UnGamers like me crazy when our little brothers got their first GameBoys.
A huge number of accessories are available for the DS Lite, but other than buying a couple of plastic game cases and a few extra styluses (stylii?), I haven't found the need to buy any. The DS Lite is, as the name suggests, lightweight, but is nevertheless sturdy enough to survive the last month and a half in my purse with keys, pens, half-eaten granola bars, and a quarter pound of loose change. The finish is iPod-shiny, and therefore smudges easily, but has so far proven scratch resistant.
There are hundreds of games available - thousands, if you count the GBA games that DS Lite is compatible with. As an UnGamer, I've stuck mostly to games like Nintendogs, Electroplankton, The Sims, and a few old favorites like Tetris and Zelda. There's definitely something for everyone here, including language and weight-loss training, dog obedience tips, and cooking lessons. As I've gradually gotten more into my DS, I've discovered such addictive time-wasters as Animal Crossing and Harvest Moon, and games like Brain Age and Flash Focus have become part of my regular morning routine.
So guys, if you're desperate to get your UnGamer girlfriend into gaming, the Nintendo DS Lite is the perfect gateway drug. Heck, I'm even thinking of getting a Wii soon!
