I am praying for non-selfdestructive decisions.

Yeah, that statement does not give me a warm and fuzzy feeling.

Hopefully it will be more of a hybrid type of device with further "smart" features...aimed at a lower cost hardware and excellent online/digital libraries.

Nintendo needs to keep 100% control of Nintendo, but hedging that on the back of say Android so it can also provide a lot more functionality and those same mobile games via their own hardware and eshop may be a good idea.

Due to the high flexibility of droid, it would be an easy partnership while still retaining control where it counts (namely in hardware design). OS design is one of those places where Nintendo needs a leg up anyway, so it doesn't create a conflict with Nintendo's core strengths.
