What I would eventually like to see is Nintendo basically just wiring the video audio "outputs" of the system to either some port (like the power port, which also seems to be able to function as a dataport) or to the wifi broadcast. The idea is that with a simple software trigger, the system's firmware can easily just redirect all the audio and video to one of those. A simple addon you can plug into your TV (sans an entire video game console) would get you all the TV action you can handle. The idea is all of this would be designed in the portable from the start, and so with the physical connections there, well, you get the rest.
"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)
