Question on Pedometer

First off, does anyone know how the 3DS checks walking for the pedometer thing> I took it with me driving around for work today and nothing happened, and then I just did laps aroundmy house and it worked. I assume then that it's not gps location tracking but the motion of walking? Or perhaps both together?

2nd, and unrelated has anybody heard if there will be specific days for updates? (i.e. monday for teh Wii.)

If you really need to rack up steps on your pedometer, just shake it up and down for a while.

Does that actually work? Just wondering cause a friend of mine bought a 3ds for her daughter but the poor child is wheelchair bound for life.

it works, but you cant shake it too fast

I was tryng it out by shaking it up and down and side to side. It seemed to work for me.
