“I’m interested because it’s a new business model in which the user doesn’t bear the communications cost.” 

"Only people who can pay thousands of yen a month [in mobile phone subscriptions] can be iPhone customers. That doesn't fit Nintendo customers because we make amusement products. In reality, if we did this it would increase the cost of the hardware, and customers would complain about Nintendo putting prices up, but it is one option for the future."

If that's how it worked worldwide, that'd be cool...

If I could actually benefit from it, then I am all for it.  I like the fact that Nintendo doesn't try to get too far ahead of the curve - the right technology at the right time.

one they dont mess this up.

This is the smartest thing they could possibly do. Now, if we could get something on DSiWare besides clocks, calendars, and ports of cell phone games, there might actually be a reason to have said 3G connection.

if the connection in itself would cost money i say no

I hope it's not too expensive. We don't need another PS3 or Xbox Live. Even the Wiimote itself is already $40. And $50 when it's bundled with Motion Plus.

As long as it isn't a monthly charge, I'm all for it. It'd be good if they also had non-3G models for people who don't care about having the service
