If you look at the picture in the first post, you will see that's exactly what they did.

It's worth noting that Nintendo has created a few alternatives to the stylus including a little nib that attaches to your thumb so that you can simply hold the DS as you normally would hold a handheld and reach over with your thumb to hit the touch screen.

Any release date to that thumb thing?

I'm still thinking about importing a DS with 1 game. Then sell it 2 weeks before the EU launch.

The "Thumb Thing" will be included, connected to a little wrist strap, with every single DS shipped worldwide.

Cool, sleep and standby mode. I wonder how long the battery lasts though? Must not be extremely long if it has sleep and standby.

I wonder why nintendo didn't include the thumb thing with the Kiosks, since the thumb thing seems to work better than the stylus.......well atleast according to ign it does
