Top 13 Changes & Improvements to the DS Lite
13) The volume switch is now white to match the console.
12) A form-fitted dummy cartridge is included to cover the GBA slot.
11) The headphone jack is in the same spot, but it is rounded and better looking.
10) The power switch has been relocated to the right side, is white, and is a slide style on/off switch.
9) The stylus is larger and is now stored on the right side instead of the top.
8) The left and right flipper buttons are recessed to form fit the corners, and now provide a tactile click when pressed.
7) The power and recharge LEDs are now on the top right front corner.
6) The Start and Select buttons are now underneath the ABXY buttons.
5) The microphone is now on the center hinge in between the two screens.
4) A thumb-stylus wrist strap isn't included with the DS Lite (I never used that thing anyway). There is still a loop if you want to attach your own wrist strap.
3) The original DS used a 5.2V 1.6W battery. The new DS battery is rated at 5.2V 2.3W.
2) The AC adapter connection on the DS Lite has been redesigned, and uses a different connector that isn't compatible with GBA or older DS power adapters. It is now called the "External Extension Connector."
1) The DS Lite has a brighter screen & 4 different screen brightness settings!
