    Came out yesterday in Japan. Here's a review:

    What is bad is the fact that the DS has a slow processor and spends a very long time rendering webpages. For example it takes a full three minutes to load CNN.com. Yeah. Minutes
    It sounds like the DS Browser is a bit easier to use than the PSP's, but it also seems to me like the PSP's browser is better overall, simply because the PSP has a better porcessor and all that jazz. I doubt I'll get it, unless I had enough cash that I can just throw it around wherever I want (which I never do).

      Now Nintendo fanboys have no reason to try to bag Sony for 'idea stealing'.

      So ***, who'd want the internet on the DS. It's slow enough on the PSP.

        Well I guess if you can't beat 'em, why not join them, huh? Fight fire with fire. ;)

          It could be very useful, despite how slow it is. Say you are researching and writing a paper, and all you need is wikipedia? Just one site would be more than enough. ;)

            I heard about this a month or two ago on IGN I think. I'll get it once we get our wifi router up and running.

              But if I needed that, according to the article it could take up to 3 minutes. In that time I could go downstairs, turn on the computer and load up Wiki, in roughly the same time.

                All I'd use it for is MSN Messenger, Yahoo! Messenger, and AOL Messenger at ebuddy.com because I like talking to people when I'm out at... McDonalds or somewhere. In anycase, those pages are so small they'll load like crazy.

                Err... on the mobile versions of the clients.

                  AIM Express, ebuddy.com, and Meebo.com all fail at working on the DS Browser.
                  Yeah. Oh well.

                    Deffinitely gonna pick this up if it ever comes out in Australia. I'd love having it handy when I need a game guide quickly. =D

                      I doubt I'll be getting it, when I'm out I'm usually playing games or listening to music.
