Nintendo decides the release date of a browser for NINTENDO DS on July 24.

This browser software is browser software that sees easily with two screens and touch screens of NINTENDO DS(Lite) and achieved a comprehensible operation. It connects it with the connection to the Internet by using wireless LAN(IEEE802.11). If it is possible to connect with the net at once, and a favorite page is registered beforehand if it turns on power, the touch pen can be displayed by touch once.

The access by a browser can be used also at public's wireless LAN service and NINTENDO Wi-Fi station besides the connection environment (The access that uses the Wi-Fi USB connector and the personal computer is possible) at home now. To inspect the Web site efficiently on the screen of narrow DS compared with the personal computer, various display modes are prepared.

The browser engine used is Opera8.5. It corresponds also to SSL etc. besides HTML, XHTML, XML, and CSS. However, it doesn't correspond to the one to need the plug-in such as Flash, the animation voice files, and PDF. Moreover, a part of Web mail service can be used. It is impossible to save other images and content of the homepage though information on the bookmark can be saved (The image and the homepage disappear when the power supply of DS is turned off).

In addition, the operation of a browser can be limited in consideration of the child the use object, and the harmful homepage block service be used.

NINTENDO DS obtained "Wing to fly away to the sky" new by one again, and it can be said a very interesting option. Because I also obtain it with the main body, I will not think that the project for this is good at something by the winter of this year by chance. It is correct that it is "It gets excited it" content.

By the way, the standard of the commodity is different for DS and for DS Lite. If the reservation order is done, it is necessary to note it.
