Convince me to buy a 3DS!

I guess the 3DS has ad hoc. I've been able to connect it with any kind of network so far.

There are rumors of a 3DS Lite, but I don't think it's going to release anytime soon. Probably, late this year or next year.

The friend code system is much better than the Wii and DS. Only enter in the friend code once and every title you and your friend have that supports online play will work just fine.

The battery life lasts between 3-5 hours with the highest settings. There is a power saving mode on the system and of course you can decrease the brightness. The battery life extends to 5-8 if you playing DS games on it.

There are plently of RPGs out for it and more coming up:Shin Megami Tensei and Tales of the Abyss. There is an RPG type game bulit into 3DS called Find Mii. It's quite fun.
Upcoming ones are Paper Mario, Kingdom Hearts 3D, Heroes of Ruin(dungeon crawler, not sure if it lies in the RPG category), Fire Emblem(annocunced for a Europe release, but expect a American release as well), Rune Factory 4 might come to states soon.

Overall, you won't be disappointed by the 3DS. If you still like DS games, then you can enjoy them on the system as well. The eShop is also a great place for games too. For Virtual Console(Game Boy, Game Boy Color, NES(just starting), and soon Game Gear(coming in March, at least in Europe), DSiWare titles, and eShop favorites such as Sakura Samurai, Pushmo, Mutant Mudds, etc. You might have seen an ad about it somewhere on the internet.
