The DSi has region locking, and DSi (downloadable only for exclusives, so far) are region locked. As usual, this means Japan will get two to four times more games than we will, with no significant compensation (in our own exclusives) to make up for it, and no way to play the games without getting an import DSi.
Also, the DSi has more RAM than the DS, of course (given that the browser is internal, it had to have more RAM to make up for the loss of the GBA slot RAM cart). What are the other stats, the same or different? Will this mean card exclusives too, or games with DSi exclusive features? They haven't announced that yet, but we'll see... either way though, we now know with more certainty two suspected-but-not-known facts about the DSi: Region locking and some spec improvements.
... Region locking, in a handheld. Leave it to Nintendo to pioneer new forms of limiting what its customers can play!
