The other problem is that the battery life most people are reporting is based on fresh batteries, brand new or relatively so. With LION batteries, there's a tendency for battery power to get shorter over time. Now when you only get about 2 hours of WIFI time, and you factor in wear and tear (The industry standard calculations are always for 80%), it's suddenly close to 90 minutes.
That's not to say the same won't be an issue with the DS, but with a longer battery life, you have less need for charging and a smaller drop in noticable power loss. When all you're getting is a couple hours, though, it's noticable.
On the other hand, WIFI takes up more battery power than normal.
By the bye, there are apparently some games where the disc spins fulltime. I suspected as much. Battery life for any such game is @ 3 hours.
