There is simply a run down of what the touch sensitive screen will do and more...
R-e-a-d it! It´s so damn cool and I do hope Nintendo will confirm it as the truth! Because if they do, people will NOT have a problem understanding the concept at all. It´s revolutionary, but that´s Nintendo!

Now you're probably thinking I'm overreacting because there's nothing that two screens can do that the addition of touchscreen functionality is going to prevent. That's true but I'm thinking about what Nintendo's motivation for the system is. I thought they wanted to have two screens to expand visibility and after giving it some thought it sounded like a really cool idea. However if they add a touchscreen the motivation moves to having the ability to "touch" things on the screen which I am not interested in at all. If Nintendo's motivation for making the system is about "touching" things than that's likely ALL they will ever use it for and that just doesn't sound very interesting to me.

I really don´t think we have any reason to worry!

Hmmm, I think I know what Ian Sane is getting at.
Nintendo has been known to not include what isn't necessary, so if they go to the trouble of putting in touch-screen functionality, they probably plan on using it a good deal of the time. If developers don't use it, the next version of the DS (assuming it becomes another whole line of products for Nintendo besides handhelds and consoles) might do without it, similar to the GBC's rarely-used infrared port.
Hey, has anyone tried using a prism to see if they could do three-way Pokémon trading with that infrared port?
Anyway, that port isn't on the GBA, so it was a dud of an idea. We'll see how the touch-screen thing goes, I guess. I'm guessing Nintendo themselves will probably use it the most early on.
