AJ not really pitting an emphasis on making it in dependant just one idea how it could be upgraded for a new model. The 1080p screen upgrade the possibility of 3D screen tech the idea of the textured screen the ability to put some internal memory on the device so you can take apps and save files and other things to other peoples homes to play in their console. Maybe you bought a movie or book and want to read or watch it at a friends house you bring over your WiiU and can. Take your online data with you your NFC data.
I can think of several upgrades from what we have heard the tablet will be. Nintendo would want to make the device portable enough to bring it from house to house or use it at least basic use without the console. To my knowledge the WiiU has the processors in it that run the two tablets.
An upgrade model might have a weak processor inside not good enough to run WiiUWare but good enough to read a book surf the internet and a few other features. Thus not competing with 3DS. Of course in the future if Nintendo wants to add two more controllers they could release tablets that can handle the processing themselves enabling them to play three and four player.
So many upgrades Nintendo could shrink the tablet too maybe releasing a mini model.
Limitless abilities for Nintendo to release new models!
