GBA SP Updated with Brighter Backlit Screen

PSXer writes "Nintendo has quietly included a much brighter backlit screen into the new Game Boy Advance SP Graphite and Pearl Blue colors. From the article: "Though all that's changed between the classic GBA SP system and the updated ones is the screen technology, the difference is night and day. The new system kicks on with incredible brightness and clarity in its display right from the start, and the improvement becomes even more obvious with each game you stick in the system.""

You're forgetting that Nintendo considers the DS to be their "third pillar" alongside the traditional handhelds (the Gameboys) and the home consoles. The DS is also significantly more expensive than the GBA line, so it's probably wise that they keep that "entry level" product around. Word has it that the next "proper" handheld is currently in development.
