The keyboard could also be down there, but something you could hide and bring up at will, and when you brought it up it would move the browser window to the top screen.

It does seem like the NDS would lend itself to being a better broswer than the PSP. People seem to like the PSP's browsing. So, I can only conclude that a NDS browser would be great.

Another week to wait to test it out though. Animal Crossing is really the game I want to try out most online though.

My wife decided today that she is getting a DS with her extra Xmas cash. While I don't see her needing the Wi-Fi adapter I can certainly pick it up for myself so I have something to mess with on the system.
I have followed the system to a certain degree but I guess now is the time to really dive in and read up.

Wifi service itself is free and only works on certain games. Mario Kart, Tony Hawk, and Animal Crossing are the first ones that it will work for. Metroid Prime Hunters will come next year.

Is there any word if the microphone on the DS will be used for voice communication, either for current or future games? It'd be a shame if the mic was only used for blowing out candles or talking to dogs.

However there are many open source alternatives that will likely (and easily) be adapted to make this work in both Mac and Linux.
Nintendo dropped the ball on this one IMO, they should have supported all from the get go.

anyone having trouble finding players via Wireless Router?
Nintendo Wi-Fi's site said my router had trouble connecting, but while setting up the router it passed the connection test and so forth. I keep getting messages that tell me that I may not be able to find 4 players at the moment.

Okay I need some help. I'm not too good with computers, (aside form editing), so I am having an extremely difficult time setting this up. I went through all of the nintendo wi-fi steps and still nothing. I have a wireless internet and all that jazz and I even know my WEP password. My problem is when I go to test the connection, it says that there is no access point. I think I remember reading somewhere on the wifi site that it only runs with WEP. So although I have a WEP password, everything else I see says WAN. Could this be my problem? If so, can anybody who has a mac or knows about them tell me how to change a WAN to a WEP? Because I have no clue. Thanks in advance.
