Hm... Well, 2DS makes sense in terms of naming.
1. It's only 2D.
2. It still has dual screens.
3. It's kind of the in-between of DS and 3DS, much like how a x.5 of games and manga chapters comes out occasionally to tell what happened in between or something..
My issues.
-It's a portable/handheld device.. It does not look as if it will fit in my pocket. Not in the least. Everything from GameGear to Game Boy to the original DS and PSP have fit in the majority of my pockets but I think if I tried my pockets would give up on life and dump all my [stuff] out on the street.
-Also, as it's lacking in a clam shell design it lost brings out a problem that they fixed when they designed the GBA SP. There isn't anything in the design to protect the screens.
-Lastly, probably not a big deal for most people.. But paranoid people like me prefer a hardware switch to turn off all connectivity. Dx
