Very Interesting News
"Here's something you shouldn't tell the FCC if you plan on keeping your shiny new DS - apparently, the DS has a third screen. But no, it's not what you think. Hold your DS up to your TV (rabbit-ears-antennae work best). If you look closely at the TV screen, you should be able to see the image that is on your top screen being picked up by your TV! Yes, this may sound crazy, but so many people have reported this that it can't be just a joke."- DS Central

From the comments, we have our first detailed success story... with a picture!--
"Here's what I did. I hooked up a coax cable, and turned the TV to channel 3. If you point the end of the coax at the right speaker, you get a signal. If you touch the end of the coax to the ground of the DS power jack [metal that holds the charging plug when you put it in your DS], you get a clearer signal. It looks like a scrambled Cable channel, but with no color.
Also, it appears to me that the signal from both top and bottom screens is displayed on the TV. They are overlayed.
Here is a fuzzy pic that I only adjusted for contrast and brightness for clarity:

Whoa. Very cool. I don't know if this is normal for electronics with screens in them like this, or if Nintendo planned on releasing a cable that could send video to other displays. I just did a test and saw a fuzzy picture.
