Gaming Internet Browser impressions

[pachura]

I've already seen some negative impressions on the browser, but sincerely, I think it's pretty fine. Granted, it might be a bit slow, doesn't support YouTube and has to render incrementally, but major sites (Gmail, Facebook, Digg, GBAtemp...) seem to work. Zooming is smooth. Also, it does seem to support many HTML5/CSS3 features, AJAX and Canvas (I will post compatibility results soon).

And it can only get better.

having fun with canvas currently. will post some stuff later. scratching my head figuring out transparency lol

As far as impressions go, I'm pretty pleased. I'm just rather excited to play around with it.

We could also post links to mobile versions of popular sites.

E.g. for Gmail it's http://m.gmail.com
For Facebook it's http://m.facebook.com

Clicked a link to steel diver from the eshop...

You need to Google these.
Type it in to the address bar and it just says "Invalid Url"

Reading the specifications from the manual Nintendo claim to be using code from both Apple and WebKit for their browser.

So... is Nintendo going to start making firewalls and anti-virus programs for the 3DS? lol

Has anyone tried jsnes, just for the heck of it?

looks like canvas is ignoring the alpha channel of an image. ohlawd.

jsnes actually runs, but is completely unusable lol.

I get many "Terminating script" messages, but when I don't, the emulator runs a ~0.2 FPS.

I'm using the 3DS browser to type this...it's actually way faster than I thought it would be! I hope they make stuff like a youtube app...and the ability to view 3D images in the browser is pretty neat. What's this "canvas" thing you guys speak of?

Part of html5, a new(ish) html/javascript standard that lets you do some of the same stuff that Flash lets you do but without plugins. Yes, that includes browser based games.

They better include a standalone YouTube application.

Haven't touched it yet tbh, not bothered at all. Pokedex ftw

WebKit is mostly developed by Apple, so WebKit's code == Apple's code.
