If there's a graphical improvement when you plug the device on the TV, I wouldn't call it a handheld system. Maybe the dock provides the extra power to run the device fully clocked. So that would be actually a home console with a portable mode.

Nintendo confirmed it's not.

As far as I know the dock provides extra power, which could make the difference between running with the GPU fully clocked, and running with a GPU partially clocked. Maybe they're doing this to improve battery life in portable mode. But I don't really know, just an hypothesis.
