I saw a game on the shelf the other day saying something like: DS internet browser

Does it really go on the internet or is there limited functionality?

I was reading about that today myself. I believe it is limited in the sense that there is no sound, video, or flash content of any kind. It would likely just be basic text and images.

And yeah that too.

Handheld web browsers:
iPod Touch/iPhone > PSP > DS
I think that is the ONLY thing PSP has better than DS, but they are both bad.

Let me expand on that a bit: iPAQ hx4700 w/WM6.1 + Opera Mobile 9 > any other VGA Windows Mobile 5/6/6.1 device + Opera Mobile 9 > iPhone/iPod touch > Opera Mobile 8.65 > various touchscreen pocket computer browsers > Pocket Internet Explorer/Internet Explorer Mobile > PSP > DS > Blackberry > dumb phones (I'm not sure where I should place those Nokia Internet Tablets in the hierarchy, never having encountered one myself.) I suppose that if you're looking for a cheap way to access the Internet on the go, Opera for DS isn't a bad choice, but if you really want the best Web browsing experience in your pocket, expect to pay up for another device.

I have the Nintendo DS Browser, and I'm satisfied since I didn't expect much... since I take my DS everywhere it comes handy lots of times (especially at school)...

As someone pointed out, don't expect flash, audio or video...

It's just something they made because they can. I wouldnt reccomend it considering the only time I would use it would be in my house and I could just use my computer.

Yeah, but it's pretty worthless. I would get it if it dropped to $10 or less.

I've been curious about this lately because I could check the internet on my breaks at work. But I haven't seen the browser in a while.
