Where's the Nintendo logo text thingy?
Why is it such a low resolution image, if they got it from Nintendo? And why a render?

The Nintendo DS — short for dual-screen — will be unveiled Tuesday morning at the annual Electronic Entertainment Expo game industry gathering.
Plus, it doesn't even say anywhere in the article that that is the real DS in the picture, and it says that the DS will be unvieled on Tuesday, they wouldn't say that if they had already unveiled it (which they haven't, because the picture is fake).
Why is it so ugly? Nintendo wouldn't disappoint me like this... or would they? =\
I'll believe it's real when i see it in Shigeru Miyamotos hands.

The general design is what I'd expect it to look like, with proper indentions the top part could protect an analog stick (not that I claim it has one, just an idea for GBN).

I see planet GC has a link up now so this must be real. All I can say is wow is it freaking huge. If anyone but NIN made this you guys would be all over it.
In all seriousness though, i was hoping for a collaboration with another company like HP and having one screen double as an actual PDA... wishful thinking i know, but it would definitely help distinguish it from the SP (and jack up the price to one million dollars)

EDIT: Or unless they went back and edited the image into the previous article.

The thing that really threw me on it was those indents on either side of the top screen (and also on the bottom). I have an unfoldable keyboard that has those identical indents on it and is the same color with the same black outline. Seems like it would've been easy to take an image of it and photoshop a screen on it.

I can read that. Well, almost, but if you read Dutch out loud it sounds almost like German and the words become understandable.
I think the icon is a topic image (i.e. their system automatically adds it to any DS-related story), they probablys added it today. If you click on the older stories, the icon appears as well. Kind of like the Borg Gates icon for Microsoft related stuff or the Monty Python foot for humorous stories on Slashdot.
