Nintendo Patents Handheld Rumble Technology
According to BusinessWeek, Nintendo is seeking a patent on a "vibrating hand-held device" (ooh, madam). The application, that was published on the 8th April, looks to implement technology into a portable device that involves rotating a coin-shaped motor to transmit vibrations to both hands.

The patent was applied for way back in September. It's too late for Nintendo to be thinking about a new DS revision with built-in rumble technology, so the logical conclusion is that we may see this tech within the soon-to-be-revealed 3DS.
