Are you jealous?

I wouldn't use this all the time, but it's great for checking in on the road!

I've been meaning to check out the browser for the DS.

I like the one for the Wii except that large button panel on the bottom that wont go away and takes up like 20% of the screen.

n-n-n-n-nice! i've always wanted to find video game-related ways to use the internet (dreamcast or ds especially, i may one day give up computers.... yeah right). do you just need to buy the browser software? or a special wi-fi card too? or, or.... ?

Wifi is already built into every DS.
You just need to buy the Opera browser for $30

I'm posting this from my iphone. I must admit that it isn't too bad. The browser on this really rocks.java seems to work but flash doesn't work.

IGN absolutely slammed the DS browser.

It's not the most practical thing in the world, but on my trip to CA, it worked well all over San Francisco and was nice while I was bored in the airport.

I don't like using the default settings with full graphics and everything.
I use the mobile mode with graphics turned off.
It's great for checking Gmail and reading blogs.
