This isn't new technology as diesels have been doing this for quite a while.
As far as the dish pistons, I doubt that they are quite like a diesel's which traditionally have very thick "quench" areas. I think what they are getting at is the fact that these DIG motors have much smaller traditional cumbustion chambers and build more combustion chamber area into the piston.
This is cool, and it's somthing they should have brought to market years ago.

Just a random thought, do you think the GenV motors will be classified as "LS" series motors, or will they get a new branding? My first thought was "cool, another LSx". But i don't think the DIG components will be compatible with ANY LSx motor, will it?

I assume it will be different.
Almost out of "LS" numbers.

Maybe they will call the LX, or LZ, or Lsomethings atleast. They have about 23 letters or less left to choose from if they are sticking with L for the first letter. So who knows maybe they will dig up some old designation to revive...
You still have

Yes infinitely variable valve timing and lift such as BMW's Valvetronic allows them to run with no throttle body or throttle plate.
But thats got nothing to do with DI.

They do have a throttle body
And the benefit of DI is you can run higher CR and cylinder pressure and temp because of the cooling effect of the fuel being directly injected. So you can run higher compression on worse fuel than you normally would be able to.

DI engines are just like regular engines (for the most part) except the fuel injector goes directly into the combustion chamber. It's a lot more efficient, more power, less emmisions.
I'm waiting for them to come out with solenoid sp? actuated valves..
