Yeah Sony is just protecting themselves from the possible fate of the DS phone: http://www.joystiq.com/2007/01/17/ds-phone-not-by-nintendo/ You can pretty much guess the contents by looking at that link: "Imitation is the best form of flattery: Japanese mobile phone operator NTT DoCoMo has unveiled the Mitsubishi-built D800iDS, yes, a dual-screened celly that features a touch screen in place of a keypad." So pretty much, NTT DoCoMo gets cash from imitating the DS Lite. So either Nintendo or Sony are gonna make the phones (not likely) or they are just patenting the idea so somebody else doesn't make it first (more likely).
