Nintendo created the download stations because those are ad-hoc access points, and when you download games from them, the games disappear from RAM once you turn off your DS. If they allowed downloads from the Internet, more people would find a way to pirate the downloaded content from the comfort of their own homes.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[JC]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 12th 2007 9:44AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Nintendo DS web browser comes to America]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/11/nintendo-ds-web-browser-comes-to-america/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/11/nintendo-ds-web-browser-comes-to-america/</guid><description><![CDATA[Congratulations USA, I am already tired of using this POS software because it's just too damn slow and doesn't support flash etc. I sold my cardridge on eBay months ago.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[drtekger]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 11th 2007 1:24AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Nintendo DS web browser comes to America]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/11/nintendo-ds-web-browser-comes-to-america/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/11/nintendo-ds-web-browser-comes-to-america/</guid><description><![CDATA[i wonder this could be kinda useful i suppose<br>considering i have the wifi dongle<br>this is a must]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[enjoi]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 11th 2007 1:31AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Nintendo DS web browser comes to America]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/11/nintendo-ds-web-browser-comes-to-america/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/11/nintendo-ds-web-browser-comes-to-america/</guid><description><![CDATA[Is there an official review on this?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Slvrgun]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 11th 2007 1:32AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Nintendo DS web browser comes to America]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/11/nintendo-ds-web-browser-comes-to-america/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/11/nintendo-ds-web-browser-comes-to-america/</guid><description><![CDATA[I bought this a few days ago and it sucks greatly.

If I'm not mistaken, the DS has 4mb of RAM?  How in the world does it even support most websites?  Websites these days are being built in web2.0 (AJAX) format with an additional combination of Flash 9 so performance must be slow.  I'd hate to be caught browsing websites with it, perhaps e-mail would be great or maybe ROM emulation (see: Wii VC emulation using Flash), but yeah... No flash support?  Buzzkill.  I was hoping perhaps that this software -could- use flash so home-brew "touch" games could be supported but no, it really isn't. Not worth 30 bucks.  5 bucks 'maybe'.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Vorx]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 11th 2007 3:29AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Nintendo DS web browser comes to America]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/11/nintendo-ds-web-browser-comes-to-america/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/11/nintendo-ds-web-browser-comes-to-america/</guid><description><![CDATA[It comes with a RAM upgrade to stick in the GBA slot]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Kit F]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 11th 2007 5:24AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Nintendo DS web browser comes to America]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/11/nintendo-ds-web-browser-comes-to-america/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/11/nintendo-ds-web-browser-comes-to-america/</guid><description><![CDATA[Here's your official review - it sucks. It sucks really bad! Slow, no Flash, bad at AJAX. Even Nintendo's site is unusable on it, much less anything Google.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Colin Scroggins]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 11th 2007 3:46AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Nintendo DS web browser comes to America]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/11/nintendo-ds-web-browser-comes-to-america/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/11/nintendo-ds-web-browser-comes-to-america/</guid><description><![CDATA[Lets not jump to conclusions immediately, people. Sure, it may not support flash (due to obvious hardware limitations) but is capable of rendering webpages properly, coming even in handy with its SSR function, allowing lengthy text to be read without too much eye-strain. Another thing to mention is the fact that it can display pages like engadget using the memory pack supplied with it (which contains around 10 MB of RAM, more than my palm TX is capable of using for its browser). Therefore, it is a good buy for those who are frequently on the move with their DS due to:<br><br>1. Its long Battery Life<br>2. Nintendo's partnered Hotspots which when the browser is used can still be used for free.<br>3. The fact that it is detected by sites like google to be a browser worthy of displaying full content, rather than mobile one.<br>4. Its javascript capabilities (not so much Ajax but javascript anyway)<br>5. High security sites still being accesible<br><br>Websites such as Windows Live mail can still be used (due to the fact that the browser is automatically detected and everything is switched to classic mode without the Ajax)]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Bernhard]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 11th 2007 4:59AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Nintendo DS web browser comes to America]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/11/nintendo-ds-web-browser-comes-to-america/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/11/nintendo-ds-web-browser-comes-to-america/</guid><description><![CDATA[They should have made put it in a GBA cartridge instead.  I never use the GBA slot on my DS so if the browser was in a GBA cartridge, I could just stick in that slot and have the browser all the time.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[IsLNdbOi]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 11th 2007 6:11AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Nintendo DS web browser comes to America]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/11/nintendo-ds-web-browser-comes-to-america/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/11/nintendo-ds-web-browser-comes-to-america/</guid><description><![CDATA[It has limitations, but is handy. For instance, I use it for ebuddy.com, and thus IM chat, which is a suitably simple but useful application. However since moving from Japan to Germany I have found it tough to find open hotspots as OEMs seem to be switching on security by default and (it seems) nobody here is sharing.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Scooter]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 11th 2007 6:55AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Nintendo DS web browser comes to America]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/11/nintendo-ds-web-browser-comes-to-america/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/11/nintendo-ds-web-browser-comes-to-america/</guid><description><![CDATA[I'm getting sick of people overreacting to this.  It's not that bad.  People need to realize what this is and is not.  It's designed to be a convenience item if you need to do something simple online when you are away from home.  It's NOT designed to be used in place of Firefox on your dual-core computer.  Seriously folks, for what it's designed for, it's fine.<br><br>On another note, Engadget, that was an awful article.  Really now, the browser has been out for a week, and you didn't even touch on the controversy regarding Nintendo promising it would have Flash, and then removing that promise from the website two days after the browser was released.  Stop trying to include as many links to other articles as possible, and actually do some research.<br><br>p.s. Bernhard - It will work at any connection that supports B and G. Not just "Nintendo designated hotspots."]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[sgt_easton]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 11th 2007 7:40AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Nintendo DS web browser comes to America]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/11/nintendo-ds-web-browser-comes-to-america/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/11/nintendo-ds-web-browser-comes-to-america/</guid><description><![CDATA[The thing I realy meant was the fact that the commercial Hotspots for which you have to usually pay for but that Nintendo has Partnered with will allow you to access that Hotspot for free, and therefore the internet. Take for example T-mobile in Germany which provides Wireless Internet Access for a fee. Nintendo has negotiated with them to allow Nintendo DS units to automatically connect, bypassing the payment interface, thereby providing them the service for free. The DS browser itself will obviously be able to connect to wireless routers at home and ones that are provided elsewhere.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Bernhard]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 11th 2007 7:53AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Nintendo DS web browser comes to America]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/11/nintendo-ds-web-browser-comes-to-america/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/11/nintendo-ds-web-browser-comes-to-america/</guid><description><![CDATA[I picked it up this past weekend. Is it super fast? No. It won't replace my laptop or desktop, but sometimes I just want to check my email, and the DS's instant on functionality makes this a breeze. Gmail loads quickly and is easy to use with the device. $30? Well worth it.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Chad]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 11th 2007 10:44AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Nintendo DS web browser comes to America]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/11/nintendo-ds-web-browser-comes-to-america/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/11/nintendo-ds-web-browser-comes-to-america/</guid><description><![CDATA[Can you still run gmail? replies would be helpful.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[joe d.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 11th 2007 10:12AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Nintendo DS web browser comes to America]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/11/nintendo-ds-web-browser-comes-to-america/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/11/nintendo-ds-web-browser-comes-to-america/</guid><description><![CDATA[Yes.

My chief complaint is the lack of copy/paste - I'd like to send myself url's (which i might be able to do, i haven't RTFM) and paste text into my gmail, which I also haven't figured out how to do. Maybe I want to do that more on the DS than I do my phone because of the stylus support, but that was one of my very first impressions - hey, how do I select text here? ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[rob]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 11th 2007 4:01PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Nintendo DS web browser comes to America]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/11/nintendo-ds-web-browser-comes-to-america/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/11/nintendo-ds-web-browser-comes-to-america/</guid><description><![CDATA[If you have a DS and want to surf the web with it, I guess it is not too bad.

Stick mainly with mobile oriented sites (which can include google, yahoo, weather underground,and many more) and it can be a handy way to get news, weather, stocks, web mail, and other info. You can even do google mobile web map searches, but the google map application for the treo beats it. It beats a cell phone for most browsing, but will not replace a real computer for heavy browsing.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[PeteS]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 11th 2007 12:13PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Nintendo DS web browser comes to America]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/11/nintendo-ds-web-browser-comes-to-america/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/11/nintendo-ds-web-browser-comes-to-america/</guid><description><![CDATA[I've been running this for about 6 months using the Japanese memory cart, and the European ROM on my M3 DS Simply. It's come in handy once or twice when I need to check something quickly and there's a hotspot. This is not really meant for intensive browsing anyway, so if you can spare the money, it's a nice to have, but for everyone who says it doesn't do Ajax, view graphics intensive websites well, etc., IT'S NOT MEANT TO DO THAT!!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[JC]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 11th 2007 1:52PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Nintendo DS web browser comes to America]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/11/nintendo-ds-web-browser-comes-to-america/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/11/nintendo-ds-web-browser-comes-to-america/</guid><description><![CDATA[Primetime4 I find the DS browser WAY more useful than the PSP browser since the PSP doesn't have a touchscreen keyboard, entering characters is brutal.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Edward]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 11th 2007 4:58PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Nintendo DS web browser comes to America]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/11/nintendo-ds-web-browser-comes-to-america/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/11/nintendo-ds-web-browser-comes-to-america/</guid><description><![CDATA[Any idea when this is coming to Europe?
