This was expected ever since Nintendo said that the DS will have Wi-Fi and probable internet. But dont pitch that Motorola yet. Wi-Fi Hotspots are difficult to find, usually have up to a 100 foot radius, and some places even charge you to use them. But it will make Instant Messaging better. |

HotSpots are places that there's a wireless hub connecting to the internet. They're usually Wi-Fi, but can be Bluetooth(two types of wireless internet), and the DS will probvly be able to access both. Wi-Fi is better up to 100 feet, with relatively slow speed and not much loss over distance, while Bluetooth is balzingly fast with VERY big loss over distance. |
