Nintendo DS Web Browser £4.99 instore @ Comet

voyager7

Just been into Comet and picked up DS Web Browser for only £4.99. It is made for the DS but it also works with the DS Lite (I have both and is does work!)

Great Stocking Filler!

DAMNOME

how does it connect to the net? do you have to pay?

through your wireless connection.

it had mixed reviews, mainly verging on the bad side. but for 4.99 you can't really complain

Will not work with WPA encryption only WEP, so will have to downgrade to connect.

Or you could get yourself a access point configured just for the DS using WEP.

It comes in 2 Cartridges. 1 is a memory expansion pak fits into slot 2 which speeds up loading of web pages and other is slot 1 Opera browser program. It is not as fast as using a laptop obviously, but great if you are out and about and want to price check something or check e-mails. There is no subscription charge, it just connects to any WiFi hotspot. And yes it definately works with the DS Lite as I am using it as I type! (Even says so on the back of the box!)

It will work on the DS lite, the memory expansion pak will just stick out a bit more than the case!

I got one ages ago and hardly use it to be honest, its ok as a novelty and you can quckly check emails etc.

Free to use anywhere there is a BT openzone (McDonalds have them)

Uses AOSS technology too so if you have a Buffalo wireless router then its really easy to connect up.
