Can someone explain how wi-fi works in planned English and how I can use it on my new DS?

Most Wi-fi hotspots in the UK will NOT work with the Nintendo DS or Sony PSP. Most hotspots require you to point a browser at a webpage to fill in a coupon code and run a timer java app to control how long you are online, neither of which are available to use on the DS or PSP.
If you have broadband you can buy a wireless router to give yourself a wireless etwork at home, this will allow you to link up your wireless devices to it. This will include the DS, PSP, PS3, xbox 360 and the Revolution.
The problem is that the PSP and the DS only support WEP encyption, so unless they are updated to a more secure and less hackable encryption such as WPA, then your network is at the mercy of the people living close to you. Unscrupulous types can hack your network and use your internet connection, so lets hope Ninty and Sony get their acts together and release firmware updates for the DS and PSP, if they support WPA in hardware, or we're all screwed for a long time to come. Unless you want to manually manage the allowed MAC address access to the router.

i heard theres a nintendo bus touring the UK that has a download thingy for your ds to try out mario-kart, might juts be a rumour though
and eventually downloading demos of new games when you pass wifi centres or some shops. Currently being done in Japan...
Sharing carts for some multiplayer games.

Sorry I am being thick again. I didn't mean down load DS games to the DS. When you turn the DS on it says "download game", I was just wondering what thats for?

But what about the DS down loads?

Apparantly you'll be able to download NES, SNES and N64 games onto the Revolution. There might be a 'small fee' however.
