Okiwi: A free NDS browser in progress
The Nintendo DS can almost be whatever you need it to be. It can be a handheld game device, a simple organizer, an image viewer, an MP3 player, and an internet navigator. As with games, there are a lot of them out there competing for your attention. Which one you choose depends on your taste. So are homebrew applications, they’re all over the place if you know where to search for them. You just need the right info & tools and you’re set to go.
One of the uses the NDS-user can benefit from is the internet browsing capability. As was mentioned before, Opera for the DS is now available in Japan, and slated for worldwide release in a couple of months. However, there are also people out there who want to give internet connection to those who can’t or won’t buy the Opera program.
Pedro J. Estébanez is in the process of developing a free NDS web browser, called Okiwi. He’s got great plans for the program: pdf support, JavaScript, file uploading, and others. Currently he’s trying to implement floating boxes and then he’ll be off to doing the tables. Slowly as it goes.
Options make situations more flexible and creative. Whether you wait for the Okiwi to bloom into a flower or go for the DS Opera browser is up to you. In the end you, the consumer, win.
