Using the "DS" moniker in the name doesn't make much sense because I doubt the next Nintendo handheld will be dual screen.

Especially if this is a portable tablet that can also stream wirelessly to the TV ... that should be a completely new brand (DS/Wii are tired by now). 

Ill give you the Wii, but is the DS brand tired?  I don't think so, I think they can continue to build on the DS branding they have worked so hard to establish.  The "DS" name is very powerful these days.  Regardless if it's a 3DS or DS, you will find people referring to it as a DS.  No longer do people think they are "gameboy's", but now they are DS'.  That's assuming the basic tech is the same, but maybe they will drastically change the next handheld.
