Update: The DSi has been officially dated for North America - see here.
It seems a release for Nintendo's DSi in North America may come around sooner than originally expected.
A possible, and likely, packaging for the handheld has been doing the Internet rounds. To make things a little bit more interesting, IGN has prosponed their Voice Chat podcast, due to "a rampaging Bowser, a zombie infestation, or an upcoming handheld announcement."
