Yes, actually, I would expect ethernet support for any game that calls itsself online... otherwise, IMO, why bother (unless it's a cell phone game where you've got it online anyway... but there you have a 'it's very slow' problem... (see N-Gage))?
Of course it should also have wireless support if it's a handheld but telling almost everyone that they can't play the system online most of the time is simply stupid and is a recipe to get people to not play it much... oh, they'll look at and think 'cool!' but once they understand the limitations? Right.
Oh, and OB1, outdoors? Wireless networks are generally INDOOR things, you know... yeah also within some short range of the thing outdoors, but very limited. I don't understand why you think that this is such a good idea for the only way to play a console online... it just doesn't seem sensible to me.
