I have a warrentee still in effect for my DS. I can wait until the new model comes out and Best Buy sells out of the old model, then demand a replacement because of some dead pixels. Since the people working there don't care about their job, they will likely try to satisfy me by simply providing the new model, and off I go.
That is, if the new model is actually better than the old. I'm thinking maybe they could layer the two screens on top of each other, and when you fold the top one up, you can actually "slide" the bottom part down and fold it so suddenly the top screen is facing forward and covering the one underneath. In this way, it doesn't take up so much space when in use. It would do the trick for playing GBA games in that mode. Otherwise, just fold it fully "out" and you have normal DS functions.
It could also be designed like an SP with 3 folds and a twist, or something...
I want it to conserve some space basically.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
