Added info about the memo menu.
Unlike DS Station, the Nintendo Zone client is rigged to only connect to a AP when there's NZone WMB beacons and a special unknown beacon from the same host in range. When the AP has the correct SSID and WEP key, the client attempts to connect to the AP.(WEP key is generated from the SSID, Nintendo software can automatically connect to these APs without any configuration.)

When the DSi is in range of a NZone WMB host with the special beacon for the first time, sysmenu will display a message that you're in range of a Nintendo Zone. When you press the "Start" button, sysmenu boots NZone. The hidden DSi Nintendo Zone client will then appear in the [http://www.mcdonalds.co.jp/ds/how_to_play/ menu,] see the images to the right as well. After the initial NZone detection, the client icon always stays in the menu, it is never removed. When NZone is detected the second time in sysmenu, the icon and the icon on the strip which you can touch with stylus to select app icons starts flashing, and a sound constantly plays while in range of NZone. If sysmenu doesn't detect another NZone beacon for 10 seconds, the flashing and sound stops. The region is somehow determined by the special beacon and/or the WMB beacons, NZone is not region-locked. The client uses the correct URLs for the region somehow specified by the beacon(s). The client is basically a NetFront browser rigged to only work with certain APs, and with the capability of booting RSA-1024 signed NDS software downloaded with https. DS Station seems to only support Nintendo's custom [http://code.google.com/p/wmb-asm/wiki/NTFA NTFA] file format for graphics. Nintendo Spot supports other formats, one of the formats is GIF. Nintendo Zone supports NTFA, GIF, and PNG.

The DSi NZone with the memo menu, can take pictures with the DSi cameras and save to the camera album. You can also draw stuff then save to NZone savedata, and take screenshots of either screen at anytime optionally draw on it then save to NZone savedata. Drawings and screenshots can be viewed later via the memo menu, regardless if NZone beacons are in range or not. The NZone WFC usage notes state: "Photos, drawings or any other kind of images that you post via the Nintendo Zone can be viewed and downloaded by other users, and may be made public via Nintendo Zone or the internet. These photos, drawings or other kinds of image may then be copied, edited and/or posted by others." The rest is just "your images may be seen by a large number of people, don't post offensive material or copyrighted etc."
