apparently they are including pictochat and a multiplayer version of metroid prime:hunters with the system. if i understand correctly, the ds auto-detects other ds systems within its wireless range. additionally, multiplayer games will have the option of being designed so that only one cartridge is necessary.
this would be a killer travel handheld. imagine autodetecting all the live ds's on the same airplane flight. you could race a stranger in mario kart or take them on in a game of chess on the fly. the pictochat embedded in the system's hardware would make it easy to set up.
i think embedding the chat program in the system's hardware is a great idea. that plus the wireless autodetect will really add a new dimension to the sytem that can't be found anywhere else if it catches on.
