Ok. Last I heard the DS was WiFi compatable at launch, there just isn't anything other than Pictochat that uses it out yet. Is this or isn't this true? I keep seeing threads that ask about this in the VG forum but nobody knows.....help.

I usually answer but people ignore my posts.
Here is my constantly repeated answer:
"The DS's WiFi capabilities are under development right now. They don't actually exist...yet. Expect a release of it sometime later this year.

In a magazine I got yesterday, it says that the DS is WiFi compatible as it is, and there is a network that the signal can be transmitted through in order to perform online play, they just haven't made anything that can tap into this feature, so its useless until they make online games for the DS (Pictochat won't work online, they dropped that idea).

Also, since you can only be in certain places (the hubs), then it may be difficult for us in the US to play online, since that would mean they'd have to make them (or at least the towers to carry the signals) all over the country, and that would be something difficult for Nintendo to try and do. Fortunately, its their problem, not ours, so we can let them deal with all the hard work.

You can access the WiFi network through wireless routers, so if you have one at home, you don't have to travel to a hub, or Wifi hotspot.

I have a hotspot at home, so I don't have to worry (I think....)
