Your facts are wrong, as usual. Only short-range personal wi-fi networks are sometimes limited to a few dozen feet in the house, but even that is rare thanks to new wireless network standards. I can sometimes get a connection from my next door neighbor's house, and in areas with actual hot spots, you can get online just about anywhere in the town. That's how people can use laptops in parks and such. For a HANDHELD system, wifi is the only thing that makes sense. Nintendo knows that, and Sony knows that. And I'm pretty certain that they know what's best for their handhelds more than a little hermit in Maine.
