In an interview with the gaming blog Kotaku, Shigeru Miyamoto revealed a few tidbits regarding the connectivity between the Nintendo DS and Wii systems.
First, he stated that the technology currently exists for the two systems to interact with one another, but Nintendo is still trying to figure out what to do with this technology. Some ideas that are being thrown around are (1) using the touch screen and microphone from the DS to affect Wii gameplay, or (2) downloading content from the Wii, transferring it to the DS, modifying it and sending it back to the Wii. Although he couldn't tell when this connectivity scheme would take place, he said it's likely to occur at launch or very early due to the success of the DS system.
Miyamoto also commented that Wii remotes will likely be customizable for each member of the family household. That is, each member can have their own distinct colored Wii remote and have their settings load when they boot the console.
Finally, Miyamoto commented that Nintendo usually focuses on hardware and software for E3 and will reveal their price and launch date at a later time, most likely before the Tokyo Game Show which takes place in September 2006.
