This post was me as well.
I remember from the E3 that despite you turning off the 3DS it will ALWAYS be on wi-fi, searching for updates. Perhaps that?

It'll be like the PS3/360.

Great,Nintendo's copying Sony and Microsoft.
And less play time,since WiFi takes some of the battery away.

I don't think Sony and Microsoft were the first ever to think of automatic updates, well...regardless of what anyone does at this point, someone has to say someone's copying someone else with it.

Also, has there been any comment on the battery time for the 3DS?

automatic updates have been in games since the first game that had online play... Warcraft 2 maybe?

If you're picky and caring about Consoles only... well, I don't think Automatic updates can really be called "copying" Sony and Microsoft. It's evolution of gaming, evolution of anything really. I'd expect your toaster to have automatic updates someday.

As for the battery life, I'd expect something similar to the DS currently, even with constant WiFi. Nintendo is pretty good about battery life of thier consoles, they've constantly been getting better. Remember the classic Game boy and the 6 hour battery life of them? GBC was a lot better, and GBA was even better, DS lasts forever. I'd expect the 3DS to continue the trend.

Have a solar panel on the back.
Nintendo would win the handheld market for a looong while.

Wouldn't something like that jack the price up a good bit?
