Nintendo DS Web Browser

From Brighthand :
With its dual displays, one of them a touchscreen, the Nintendo DS has the potential to be more than just a mobile game console. By and large, though, this potential isn’t being realized.
Still, Opera Software is doing its part. A version of this company’s eponymous web browser for this device is now available in N. America. It debuted in Europe last year.
Dual Screen Browsing
Users can take advantage of the dual screens of the DS to view sites in either Overview mode, which presents the complete web site on the lower screen with the highlighted area zoomed in on the upper screen, or with Opera’s Small-Screen Rendering, where the upper and lower screens are combined to act like a single display.
I have finally found a gaming accessory I don’t actually need! I won’t be purchasing this, mainly because I still haven’t figured out how to work the browser on my PSP and I don’t think I am missing much. I use my handheld consoles to game. I don’t think I would access the internet from them even if I could. But that is just me. It’s always nice to have the option if you need it I suppose.
I am right with you on those last couple sentences. Even if the 360 had a browser, would I really use it? No.
I LOVE using the browser on my PSP!
Email me if you want any pointers… I even use it to find Wi-Fi hotspots before I whip out my laptop and “borrow” some bandwidth from someone else, lol.
I’ll spend some more time trying to get it to work. I haven’t worked with it in at least a couple of months. If I still can’t get it, I will take you up on that email offer. I would love to have the option to use it since it is built in.
Yes LOL indeed criminal!
