we already know the ds autodetects other units within its wireless range... there is talk of each ds acting as a repeater, so an ad hoc network could be established as far as a chain of ds's would stretch. in urban or other highly populated areas the chances for a new level of multiplayer experience would be likely if the ds catches on as well as the gameboy has. also, with the microphone installed in each and every unit, VOIP is nearly a certainty.
quite honestly, i'm most excited with what the mod community will think of w/this little machine. not that i condone anything that would void your warranty...
