The Nintendo DS Browser is co-developed by Nintendo and Opera and provides web browsing on the Nintendo DS. The Opera browser software is stored on the Nintendo DS cartridge, a memory expansion will be inserted into the GBA slot.
The browser uses both screens of the Nintendo DS 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. Five levels of expansions are possible, from 50% to 150%.
Character input is provided by two different methods, either via "keyboard input" while a keyboard is displayed on the touch screen or via "handwriting input" by simply writing the character with the touch pen.
A parent lock function is provided to disable the access to the internet for children. Additionally, the browser does not reproduce Flash, PDF, animations or sound content.
Great for email I had my brother pick this up for me when he was in England. I love being able to check my email and other items off the internet on my DS. Yes a little slow, but so is the internet on some cell phones too. Screen is good size.

THIS GAME RULES EVEN THOUGH IT'S IN JAPAN, IT CAN STILL GO TO SUCH WEBSITES. I LOVE THIS GAME SOOOOO MUCH! I TAKE IT ANYWHERE I GO. I RECOMEND THIS TO ANYONE WHO LOOOVES SURFING THE WEB AND SENDING EMAILS.

a good toy it works well when you just check email or chate in bbs. but it acts so slow when you view wedsites with lots of images. sometimes it gets stuck when you open a website with java or flash.
it only supports japanese, english and some format of traditional chinese. the hand writting system is the best part of the browser! you will not regret to buy it if you wanna use kana or traditional chinese on your ds!
