DS redesign says someone with title

[hephaestus]

You're right. I also remember reading that the DS actually has two seperate graphics cpu's designated for each screen so it would be pretty intense to redesign it in to iphone-like single screen. So the next handheld could see it, but the next DS re-design will probably be a double screen design. As far as flexible screens that's totally doable and insanely expensive. Did you see the credit card screen? Oh I just remembered another patent - It was a single screen unit with a bubble on it, the effect was that when images are displayed thru the bubble it appears to be in 3-D like a floating hologram inside it. It seems extremely limited to certain game types so I think its going to be for a cheaper LCD game from Nintendo or something along those lines. But if it were a peripheral for the DS...... that could be interesting.

Built in rumble points on the touch screen could be interesting, or a wired stylus with rumble. Comes packaged with Operation: Butterfingers! "Dont touch the sides or you'll KILL A HUMAN BEING" (interacts with various 'Attorney-style' games when faced with malpractice suits!)
