Opera for the DS is being released July 24th in Japan. I'm not sure when its releasing in America, but it looks pretty cool. I wonder what all it will support. It'd be awesome if it supported flash and things like that, but I doubt it will.

It does not support flash: http://www.kotaku.com/gaming/opera/the-limitations-of-opera-ds-183988.php

If I was away from home more often than I am now, I'd probably get it. But I barely bring my DS with me to places, so I won't for now.

you guys hadn't heard?

The best part is, it also comes with a memory expansion pack... I assume that plugs into the GBA slot. And hey, Opera could always add Flash/sound support later.

From what I've read, it stumbles automatically from WAP to WAP, which'll be great... the PSP's internet connectivity is limited to known WAPs as part of "Connections."

I thought the reason they didn't have flash was because of the liscencing thing. Confused

I don't really get why I'll ever use this. I mean, it has to be around my wireless router to get a connection, and if it's near my wireless router I can just use my computer. Anywhere where else that the DS can hook up to will probably have an internet-enabled computer anyway.

I guess if you don't want to use a keyboard that hundreds of other people have used?

I'd probably just get it for the novelty of it. Devastated.

It's also useful if you can't or don't feel like accessing a computer. aren't in a room with a computer, and a whole bunch o' other reasons. Not to mention pure awesome. I can't believe it comes with a flash cart! Now I can download dslinux directly to the flash cart with out having to buy all kinds of cables and crap.

Now that you mention it, it would be cool to check the forum and other sites at commercials without having to run upstairs. But Wii comes first. *saves*

RockmanWilliam · Posted: Mon Jul 10, 2006 4:15 am Post subject:

Or if you're laying in bed and want to check some interweb.

Psst: If you can download to the flashcart can't you format it for 2tally legal GBA roms?

Unless they have some anti-hacking thing in it, I guess so. But wouldn't you want to use it for any browser updates? I mean, you can already buy a GBA flashcart for "homebrew".

RockmanWilliam · Posted: Mon Jul 10, 2006 4:26 am Post subject:

Why not do both? One or two homebrew roms couldn't be that big, especially if they're like GBC homebrews. So you could just use the extra storage for some browser updates.

Edit: Holy fuck. They can probably port an N64 emulator to DSLinux. How FREAKING awesome would that be?
