Well if u mean connecting to someone on the other side of the world with only a DS... No of course not! What were u thinking? Use common sense...

If u meant connecting to someone else through the internet... Well it might happen but no it can't be done yet.

The Wi-Fi is just wireless linking to people nearby. I heard that Nintendo hired that same team that (eventually) got the game cube online for work on the DS

Im thinking your computer goes online and has an antena, so if your within the DS's wi-fi range of the comp, then it will become world-wide

XBOX2 and PS3 are easy: just bigger, stronger machines. Nintendo, however, is incredibly innovative... you never know what they'll roll out next.

Not yet.  Though I believe Super Mario 64 DS is the first to use wifi.  I know it has versus, and I guess that'd be the only way it'd work.

No games use wi-fi yet. They all use the proprietary wireless format the DS uses for local network games. Wi-Fi is 802.11, aka online play. The DS supports this format too. All you need is a wireless router (hooked up to cable or DSL), a DS, and a game that supports Wi-Fi. The first games to support Wi-Fi are likely to be Mario Kart and Metroid Hunters around May/June. Various reputable sources close to Nintendo have reported that both Nintendo and Square are setting up servers for online play. It is not sure if each company will have to have it's own servers for their online games and their own online interface, like the PS2 and PC, or if Nintendo is partnering with a third party (Square or Demasked being the only possible partners at this point) and setting up a centralized interface, like Xbox Live. And that's just the official stuff. You can also play non Wi-Fi games (the ones that only support the proprietary WLAN format like First Hunt and Madden) online using tunneling software and a PC. TeamXlink is already progressing in this regard although I have not checked with them for a while and don't know the current status.

XLink lists the DS as supported so I guess I could try some Prime 3 Arena: First Hunt matches against other forum members once I get a WiFi adapter.
