CBS Interview with Reginald Fils-Aime

[plmars]

Reggie was asked if DS would be able to ipgrade itself later to acomadate for new technologies like Wi-Max. Raggie said that Nintendo is watching new technologies closely and will be there when they come out. For now they focus on Wi-Fi and Wireless Internet Gameplay.

Thats what I have been waiting to hear.

What exactly does WIFI mean? How bout WIMAX? :?: :?: :?:

[plmars]

Wi-Fi is a certification for products operating under 802.11 standerds. Over the time it became interchengable with 802.11 to decribe wireless LAN functionality.

In english: Wi-Fi is wireless network. If you have one at home you have Wi-Fi.

Wi-Max is totally new and improved wireless standard (802.16) which is going to be superior to Wi-Fi by far. Just compare the frequency ranges on Wi-Fi and Wi-Max.
Wi-Fi
802.11b/g - 2.4GHz
802.11a - 5Ghz
Wi-Max
802.16(revisions unknown) ranges from 10GHz to 66GHz

Brilliant stuff - they are 'focussing' on wireless online gaming.

Thats what we like to hear.

[macrosick]

if only they would release a game like socom2 on it...then i would be just as addicted to it as i am to ps2. that would be incredible.
