Product Description
The Nintendo DS Lite Browser was co-developed by Nintendo and Opera and provides web browsing on the Nintendo DS Lite. The Opera browser software is stored on the Nintendo DS Lite cartridge, a memory expansion you can insert into the GBA slot. The browser uses both screens of the Nintendo DS Lite handheld. While the standard screen is displayed on the bottom, an expansion will be provided on the upper screen to provide a better browsing experience. Type your Web address on a keyboard display or using the DS stylus. A parent lock function is provided to disable the access to the internet for children.

 Why the High Price on Outmoded Technology? December 16, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I would love to buy this, but for some reason the current price has shot up to $75 (as of 15th Dec 08). One of the other reviewers said he paid $40 Canadian, so I wonder why are we now being ripped off? Especially given that the new DS console is about to be released, which not only has a built-in browser, but 2 digital cameras aswell!!! You would think the smart resellers would be throwing this product away for cut-price before they are stuck with something they cant shift. Makes no sense.br /My advice is to wait until the new DS comes out and trade in your old one. Much cheaper in the long run than paying a fortune for this gimmick.

The DS Browser does exactly what it says it will do.br /br /Pros:br /-Easy set-upbr /-Modest loading timesbr /-Most websites accessable.br /br /Cons:br /-No Video supportbr /-No audio supportbr /br /If you have a wireless internet connection in your home, this is a fun little toy for your DS. I get bored sometimes and just browse Wikipedia or Myspace on my DS when I don't feel like getting on the computer. It could be better, but it could also be much worse.
 Sooo slooow January 26, 2008
I eagerly awaited the release of the Opera browser for the DS. My girlfriend tried to talk me out of buying it, but I had faith in Opera after using the top notch Wii browser. Now, I have buyer's remorse. Before I bought it, I had already come to terms with it's lack of Flash. After I started using it, though, I realized there were bigger problems. It takes minutes upon minutes to load anything. Loading a single Facebook page takes on average 2-3 minutes with images disabled. This application is basically useless to me. I could see it being of some use if you're stranded on a deserted island with only your DS, assuming the deserted island has wifi, and you have many hours of time to kill whilst awaiting your rescue.br /br /I'm already eager for the next gen of the DS so that Opera can put out a real browser. Only buy this as an emergency browser, since everyday usage is pointless.

The only reason I did not give the Nintendo browser 5 stars is because it doesnt play video or sound. As far as web browsing, it is beyond my expectations. I read through lots of negative comments about the browser but am very glad that i bought it. The split screens and keyboard make browsing the net very simple and easy. Text and pictures are very clear. Loading times vary. I have cable internet so it was quicker than I expected it would be. br /br /The only problem I encountered was accessing my hotmail account through Windows Live. It doesn't work. Some said to set it to classic but I found that was impossible. You can access hotmail through the msn mobile page so the setup is simpler and I am still able to access hotmail. Hopefully that will help someone. br /br /Overall, the Nintendo Browser is a good investment if you dont plan on buying the Iphone in the near future. For $40 there isnt much else out there that can give you what the Nintendo Browser offers.
