Can't Wait for DS Opera? Pre-order now!

DS Browser

The launch of the DS browser being made by Opera is upon us. Play Asia have listed the application on their website with the price of $49.99 + $2.60 for international shipping. The Opera DS browser software is stored on the Nintendo DS cartridge, whilst a memory expansion will be inserted into the GBA slot.

The great thing about this browser is that you can enter text via two different modes: handwriting recognition or by an on-screen keyboard using the stylus. Also, parents can keep their children safe by using the Parental control facilities to disable the Internet access. Also, the DS Opera browser does not support PDF viewing, sounds or Flash.

This browser is a welcome addition to the range of accessories available for the DS, and is one of those things that although pricey for what it is, will sell out quickly. No US release date has been mentioned yet, so make sure you get your pre-orders in at Play Asia! Remember, it will be shipped next month and if you don't pre-order you can't guarantee yourself a copy.

That stinks, hope it can be updated.

# Compatability? — Guest 2006-06-27 08:02

This will work with a US DS right because there are no region locks on the system.

# No Flash — Guest 2006-06-27 08:29

Flash would of made it sommit but im not buying it, My PSP browser (links) is great.

@2 DS games are region free but id check before buying although im like 95% sure should work.

# Different box? — Guest 2006-06-27 08:36

I don't understand. What happened to the original, colourful box art (posted 5 days ago)?

# soooooo.... — Guest 2006-06-27 10:05

will this work stateside? does anyone know if it will work with the wi-fi usb connector from nintendo? is there options to change the language to english? i hope the answers to all of those questions are yes cause i pre-ordered this thing a few days ago. and if any of the answers are no, i hope i find that out before it ships...

# It's CRAP — steve_723 2006-06-27 12:19

Trust me they are trying to copy the psp.

# Hey Are You STUPID steve_723? — Guest 2006-06-27 17:41

Nintendo has thought of this idea way before psp and ds was made. Also you're one of those people who only see companies by what you are taught on forums and junk news. You Judge only on Nintendo being crappy company, BTW all companies such as the Big ones Nintendo, Sony, & Microsoft are all equal. Remember this, don't be a follower, be a leader. I know myself that I'm a leader beacause I see in what I like, not what other people like or say and then copy their opinion and place it as my own. GEEZ i hate you kind of people, suck @$$ holes you are.

# Damn... — Guest 2006-06-27 18:35

Well, so much for getting my hopes up. I personally would not need this browser to begin with and the one thing that would have made me buy it was the ability to play flash games and videos.

I sure as hell hope this browser can be updated and updates/plugins/addons are available soon, this browser could have a lot of potential if development on it could continue and new features could be added.

# . — Guest 2006-06-27 18:44

is it possible to be able to download data from this browser? (music, stream videos, pics etc)

And could it play flash?

if it cant do either of those 2, it aint worth it.

# ..... — EndtheSorrow 2006-06-28 02:49

i have both DS n PSP and i really hope that these browser works alot better than PSP (its good but the touch screen should help) and mayb the stateside release has freakin flash so we can download pRoN at Mcdonalds lol

# features are low — Guest 2006-06-28 04:06

Oh my god...No flash or sound? So it basically a crappy version of the psp browser? RIP!

# - — Guest 2006-06-28 07:44

Yeah..because the PSP was the first handheld device to ever use a browser. You dumb*****s. Go play your two good PSP games and wank to flash hentai. ROFL

# -__- — Guest 2006-06-28 13:23

The DS web browser seems A LOT more accessable than the PSP web browser. I'd take a touch interface anyday versus... what is it... ohh tapping the triangle button, then going through constant letter searches to get what you want typed into your PSP? The PSP being the first device to have a browser doesn't mean *****, and it doesn't mean it has to be a good one. Who gives a ***** if it has flash support, big deal... Flash is better on a PC, and I'm sure as hell EVERYONE has a PC that uses QJ.
