DS Internet Browser?

I've been looking at a couple videos of the Internet browser for the DS and i think it looks pretty cool. I also have the Internet broswer on the wii but i dont really use it that much becaus ei think it takes to long typeing and things like that. I was thinking that with the DS, witht the touch and all, that the typing and searching stuff would be a lot faster. I was just wondering if this thing is worth 30 bucks or not. I was also wondering if this thing can play all types of video, like windows media or quicktime. I'm assuming that it can play youtube videoes like the wii,

Thanks!

And it's not like you can just use it anywhere, you have to be in a hotspot. And if you are in a hotspot there is bound to be a computer you can use instead of this slow piece of crap.bededog

The DS Browser is really not as bad as people say.

I've personally have good experiences with the DS Browser while travelling. I use it mainly to check my email, and store address when I don't have access to a computer. In big cities, it is pretty easy to pick up wireless anywhere you are. It is slow, but loading text isn't so bad. There is a function for you to disable the loading of images so it wouldn't take as long.

There is no sound or video capabilities. I wouldn't recommend surfing the internet for a long period of time with this, you might go cross-eyed. With wireless that requires for you to log in from the browser like the T-Mobile wireless, it WILL NOT work on the DS Browser. It is just another one of its limitations.

Basically, it is very handy and a great thing to have during your travels.
