Here's one place you can get it, though I'm sure you can get it cheaper... it's Japan only (at least this is... so far):

Lite version:

Regular DS version:

Hope this helps... though probably not. The ability to read helps.

It's available in Britain already. I haven't tried it out, but I heard it's not bad.

You do, of course, need to have access to a wireless access point.

Which I do! Any news of an NA release?

So if I have this, could I play internet only games (like Runescape) on my DS, download stuff, and post on random internet forums without getting in trouble because my DS doesn't have an IP address?

Probably not, for the very simple fact that the browser for DS doesn't support flash sites.

Plus where are you going to "download stuff" to? DS doesn't have a hard drive ya know.

Also, you would have an IP address, because any device using the internet uses your modem's assigned IP.

So is that a no for posting on websites?

Well... I wouldn't count that out just yet. I have heard instances where some sites have DS and PSP compatible skins for VB. VGC would need one for people to post on it using their handhelds.

I was absolutely sure that the DS browser supported Flash. Perhaps I'm getting confused with the Wii one.

And yes posting on messageboards is totally possible with both the PSP and DS browsers without modification (either of the board or the system).

Hmm, perhaps.

Meh, nothing of substance in that article.

What? No substance? It was confirming what I said about not supporting flash.


Quoted post: The bad news is, aside from English, there's been no update to the feature set so it still won't support Flash sites.

I must have skipped over that. :cookie:

*shrugs*

Anyhow, I don't see why they didn't include flash. I mean these days it's a vital part of the world wide web.

Cart space. I mean, the PSP struggles with the most basic Flash - that could be solved by using the Memory Stick as temporary memory, but then again, that's what the GBA cart on the DS browser is for.

So I'm at a loss, really.

I saw it on amazon.com.Its a place where you can order stuff like video games, books ,dvds and other stuff.the cost was like $45(not kidding).

I read the reviews and most was HORRIBLY.Do not by the browser becuz by the time your page is finished loading.Your computer or laptop could have loaded 10 by then.If your bying it just to check e-mails then thats fine but other than that the item is useless.

Its like having an old computer with dial-up.I rather suggest you save that money to buy yourself something else

Notice anything?

I tried buying a browser for my ds a few months back, those *****es are sold out but **** it I use an iPod to get online.

Only way to find one is gettin one online or taking a nintendo employee hostage and threatening to shoot her in the face if they don't bring you a nintendo ds browser. Or a flea market.
