I stand corrected :) I knew the DS screens had the same resolution, so I assumed they were in fact identical and both touch sensitive. Every time I saw videos of Kirby or Zelda where you had to draw the trajectories of characters I always assumed they were on the upper screen - I suppose I always thought of it as the "main" screen for some reason.
Let me re-state my previous thought, though: while the PSP->NGP transition seems to be in the direction of more natural controls and gesture based interfaces, with DS->3DS N. chose 3D over touch or other new control methods (3D doesn't mix with touch, I suppose, plus in the PO incarnation it also mixes badly with tilt controls) for the "main" screen, and they even avoided multitouch if I understood correctly.
The NGP and 3DS are actually closer than the DS and PSP in this regard, but the trends about experimenting with controls seem very different to me.
