BTW (that might be a bit off-topic) Nintendo didn't announce any sort of online connection besides WiFi. At developers roundtable they said they don't plan any 3G incorporated at the moment, but might try it in the future. Iwata few months ago was quoted to say he interested in Kindle-type of 3G free service. What happened? Why no 3G, and no attention to DSWare at all? I personally thought, they'll announce smth on that matter. In fact, I found those features quite important for upcoming handheld.

3G/whisper was probably cost prohibitive for a sub $200 handheld this year.  Plus they'd need to work out plans with network providers, which would be tougher for a new platform you're rtying really hard to keep under wraps.  I expect we'll get a "3GDS" in 2012 or something, and no it won't be a phone.

As for 3DSWare, it's undoubtedly coming.  I just hope a Virtual Game Boy is as well. :(
