It would be interesting if they came out with a DS that's one large screen like a jesusphone, thus completely destroying the terminology used in its own name and description. The plus side would be a larger, seamless screen with the entire thing being touch sensitive.
Also of consideration is Nintendo's recent patent on a touch screen that has multiple points of reference so you can use two fingers to manipulate objects. The example given was something like piloting an Arwing with two fingers, spreading your fingers to boost, closing them to brake, turning your fingers to turn, etc. It could have just been a version of the DS that was scrapped for the cheaper single point of reference design but who knows.
Next time I post i'll remember to bring a megaphone so Great Rumbler can hear me from his high horse.
