Hopefully, there won't be any censor or parental controls on it. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_disapprove.gif Not saying one's going to immedietly going to watch pr0n or whatever, but I rather like my freedom on my internets, kinda how like I can say FUCK cna leave it be. Like I said, hopefully, it won't come with parentalcontrols, because I can honestly do without websense on my DS.

In any case, this seems.. rather unexpected. They said it was announced Feb 15th, so no idea on when the release date is. Considering it's just a browser, it shouldn't take too much time to have a NA version after the JP. Then again, we can always screw the EU guys over for the fun of it. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif Just because I hate the queen's english. -.-;

You mean like a TV Tuner? There's been one for a while, but it was huge and bulky, and the battery life wasn't too long on it. Good news though is that there is a new one on the way, and this one is certainly sounding more impressive.

At their press conference during Nintendo showing off their new redesigned DS lite, Nintendo made a surprising announcement that they will release a TV tuner card which will enable the DS to receive broadcasts of digital media.

Nintendo has partnered with 1seg, a mobile terrestrial digital audio/video broadcasting service for mobile devices. The device can fit fairly well into the DS card slot and comes with an antenna.

You took the words out of my mouth. Good if you don't have a laptop or PSP. Now the real question is what will the cost probably be.

And if Nintendo will do something similar with the Revolution. Fast wireless browser + Rev-Remote accuracy = Awesome.

Oh well, better than, say, NCSA Mosaic. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

It'll be interesting to see how it'll display it.

Two screens? Vertical?

The screenshots showed the bottom screen having a fullscreen view, and the top screen having a zoom.

D'oh, didn't even see those links.

Clever idea. Would be cool to use it, I think.
