DS Browser arrives in Europe
The release of DS Browser in Europe today is a real cause for celebration. It’s being sold for £29.99 (about US$ 56) in the UK and across Europe at €39.99 (around US$ 50). The software first hit the shelves in Japan back in July.
The DS Browser has actually transformed the DS into more than just a gaming device. With Nintendo’s 6,000 free Wi-Fi Connection hot spots and other public-access hot spots, it’s even easier to be connected while on the go. Furthermore, the different viewing modes allow you to stretch the capability of the DS, along with a little stylus help. There’s even a different software package for the DS and the DS Lite.
Unfortunately, we haven’t heard of plans for US or Australian version from Nintendo. Also, Nintendo warns us that we can’t view Flash animations as the browser doesn’t support it. When asked whether Opera actually plans for a US version, they said, “It’s just a matter of getting all the hot spots set up and a partner to provide a proxy filter so parents can block content.”
Well, that’s something to really look forward to. QJ will be watching out for more news so keep reading.
