1. How do you know if you are in a 'hotspot' to play online?
2. How large are these hotspots?
3. Is it just me or are most of Nintendo's DS games multiplaye?

In a few months or so I'm sure the full details of the online mode will become avalible.
Meh, we'll see, i'll be getting it either way.

I think so.
It utilises both 802.11b (wireless networking) and Bluetooth (DS to DS connections) so it ought to have no problems doing that.
Although it'll be up to the games themselves to use this connection.
I bet that Animal Crossing will be Nintendo's first online venture.

LOL... I dunno if it'll work like that, and the frequencies may be incompatible...

If I remember right, the Wi-fi DS access will not need a hotspot.
All the DS machines contain a transmitter which broadcast the wireless transmissions upto 100m feet, allowing other DS withing range to communicate directly by transmitting information which the first DS can then pick up.
Thus, you should merely need to have all 4 DS within range of each other to connect for multiplayer, rather than having to use a hotspot.... wonder what transmission system/speed it will use though?

Hahahaha, I can imagine people clustered around BT phone kiosks all hammering away on their DSs'....
Or do you have to log in via a terminal or something?
One other question:
Can you be near one instead of being on it or in it?

The DS can connect to my home's radio network.
