The bottom one appears similar to the existing bottom screen on the Nintendo DS. A regular aspect ratio, lighter and looking slightly "spongier" thanks ot its touch screen interface. But get a look at the top screen! It's widescreen.

Oh, and one more interesting thing: buried in the FCC reports is a request by Nintendo that the guts of the handheld not be made public for a time period of 180 days, dating from April 2010. That timeframe would expire just before the Christmas shopping season...

Before you go jumping to too many conclusions, know that this is prototype hardware, so it's not what you're going to see in the final production model.

I should hope not, or we'll need a backpack to carry it

Remember the Atari Lynx?

That's why I said testing platform on the title. Could those black things be the LCD screens?

Oh and sorry, I posted this in the wrong section. I kept looking around for my thread thinking I posted it in the handheld section.

Now where are the people who can spot a Tegra chip when they see it?

Now would be the perfect time...

Are those 2 black squares to the right of the "installation module" the GPU and CPU?

The bigger one should be the SoC, the small chip might be either RAM or flash I guess. This is a closeup of the DSi PCB for reference:
