Analysts are rarely right...
As for this report, I agree that it doesn't sound right. The GBA processor is indeed the DS's second CPU, so they can't do like Sony with the 40GB PS3 and remove the GBA's CPU without impacting the DS. Would the amount of space saved by removing that port REALLY be worth it? I mean, they did that with the GB Micro (removing GB/C support), but the Micro didn't do as well as Nintendo hoped it would... and you're also right about the screens, larger screens would mean a larger unit, but they want it small... so yeah, this doesn't seem plausible to me. It could happen, for sure, but... I doubt it.
