Nintendo DSi could get voice chat channel

Word has it that the Nintendo DSi might be getting a voice chat channel in the near future, and while the company has denied that rumor, we can’t help but hope positively that it is true. After all, Nintendo did try to push the Wii Speak feature for some time now, although chatting through the Wii might be weirder than the DSi which is a much more natural device and platform to do so. What’s your take on this?
