Dunno how that would work with the DS having neither Bluetooth or IR.

There was dicusions on dsdev.org about having an infer-red addon going from a modified pass me.

However, the chance of this happening AND software being made to do whats needed, and the phone also being able to share it the same way is slim to infinitesimal.

Of curse ,when everything has software-radio abilitys this will all be much easier

Okay, how about if some kind of mobile phone link/adaptor was incorporated into the Opera browser (or similar) addon? There must be a way to make the Internet access more flexible instead of relying on a nearby hotspot or similar.

Well, I guess they could in theory...but I dont think there is any fixed standard for it :-/
They would need a socket, then a phone/adapter system.

I think its unlikely to happen really.
You just gota hope you can leach, or use a cloud.

"Reggie opens mystery flap" is a great headline.

Oh noes! I was really looking forward to the holographic projector!

Btw. this SD card flap thingy was confirmed a long time ago.

Darkflame · Post by **Darkflame** » Tue Jun 27, 2006 2:43 pm 0

Indeed.
I think the theorys was there was SD+MagicTech was in the slot.

But still, they should put the USB port(s?) at the frount there too at least.

Thing is, I'm sure they confirmed other storage ages ago (ie, external HD's) :-/
Not sure about this "only one we announced" stuff.
