My better half has just got herself a DS, a spur of the moment thing.
I was just wondering what it could do (other than play games, of course!)
I've had a quick look on the internet, but still confused!
a) Wireless connectivity? I know it can communicate between other DS's, but can it connect to my wireless router and access the internet? If so, is there something like a web browser available, and if so, how do you get it (can you download to the DS's memory (if it has one!) of do you have to buy it as a cartridge like a game?
What about online games? Do they exist?
b) Interaction with the Wii? I'm sure I heard something about this before? Do it exist?
c) Games - What do people recommend as a must have? Got the brain training and New Super Mario already.
Get a R4DS. I can do you one with a 2gb sd card for £45 inc recorded delivery.
2gb will hold around 60 - 70 roms. All you have to do is plug it in and play as i can load all the roms on for you.
the R4 is so cool it's unbelievable, or you could get one from amazon for £22 and a 1Gb micro sd card for £7 plus postage which will hold around 25 - 30 games.

Cheers everybody!
a) Yes it can access the internet via your wireless router (uses WEP security though, not WPA or WPA2).
Yes there is a web browser (approx £30) that has a memory expansion that sits in the GBA slot.
Online games? you mean games that connect to other users over the internet? If so, the Mario Kart DS, 42 All Time Classics, Pokemon D/P, for example use this
b) Wii interaction - when PBR is released then you will be able to use the DS as a controller, as well as transferring Pokemon from the DS to the Wii. Other titles will be able to follow suit. . . . will they? probably!
