To further excite the rumour mill around Nintendo, I have just created a concept image of the new Nintendo DS handheld console. I've sent it to a Gizmodo, a gadget blog, who are offering a real DS as a prize for the first real image they get, so it is bound to be published. I claimed it was leaked by an intern at the printing company who are doing their brochers for E3!
I also showed it to a friend of mine, who had this to say (name changed to protect the gullible):

Friend says:
is that real? or just a concept?
Ash says:
well its meant to be from a guy at the brocher printer for nintendo's e3 booth, so real
Friend says:
coooooool
Friend says:
whered you get it?
Ash says:
i have a freind on placement with Sun in San Fran who get stuff printed there too
Ash says:
i quite like it
Friend says:
sweet
Ash says:
might be a bit long and bulky tho
Friend says:
yeah i think it looks good
Ash says:
i thought the screens were detatchable
Friend says:
a nice hark back to the days of those handheld nintendo game things. i forget what theyre called
Ash says:
game & watch
Friend says:
yeah. i had a wicked mario one

etc.

Oh, and here it is (click to enlarge in new window):
