Satoru Iwata reveals a possible new feature to Nikkei.
In a recent Nikkei interview, Satoru Iwata elaborated on the planned uses of the 3DS' ability to automatically connect to nearby wireless access points and download information.
Similar to the newspaper subscriptions for Amazon's Kindle, one of the possible uses could be the automatic download of newspaper and magazine articles.
The Nintendo DS is currently being used for all sorts of multipurpose applications in Japan, so this approach falls in line with what Nintendo is already doing with the 3DS' little brother.
