I don't believe there's any native ad-hoc support but I'm sure if you're savvy enough you can set it up. My guess is that the set up would have to be very specific (use a certain type of encryption to make it work - most likely WEP). If I get a chance today I'll try it out and let you know if I have any success.
The friend codes are a little better than on Wii. You still have to deal with these crappy long numbers to add friends to your list, but once they're added they have a name associated to them. The friend codes are also system wide this time around so you don't get a different one for every game. You just add a friend once and they're there universally. There are always rumours about Nintendo hardware refreshes given their history with handheld refreshes. It's only a matter of time before they announce a refresh and everyone and their mother goes "Ha! I told you so!". If I recall correctly the DS had its first refresh announced about 13 months after it initially hit the market. So if something were to be announced it would probably be between April and E3. It gets from 3.5 to 6 hours playing 3DS games based on the brightness level, having power saving mode enabled, and enabling/disabling wifi. When playing regular DS games I've gotten 12 hours out of a single charge. I'm currently loving Tales of the Abyss 3D and there have been a few announcements and screenshots for other titles in the works. Shin Megami Tensei Devil Survivor (?) is another RPG I've seen people playing in my friends list.

Thanks so much for the reply. Please let me know how your experiment with an ad-hoc connection goes. I'm quite curious about it.
