Nintendo DS May Have Free Voice Over IP

GameSpot is reporting that Nintendo DS will be used in conjunction with the built-in wireless 802.11b networking capabilities to offer voice-over-IP chat—in effect, allowing gamers to use the DS to make free phone calls at wireless network hotspots.

While this may not help a soul in rural parts of America, those in cities with hotspots popping up all over the place may be able to have yet another easy way to place a call, especially if a hotspot hits one’s home.
