Why are you all so excited by this browser? you have internet on your computer, it's a thousand times handy.

Well, there's a few things.

1. Instant boot up. You don't have to wait "forever" for your PC to boot up.
2. Less security problems. Most of the viruses, loop holes that plague the PC won't apply to the DS.
3. Portability. Easier to carry than even the lightest laptop around.
4. Non-eye catching. Well OK, DS Lite might turn a few heads but, won't turn as many as a laptop.

The 4th point I'm sure will appeal to anyone who can't get privacy when surfing the net

Even so, the browser does have its limitations due to the DS hardware. Mainly there's no Flash support and there's so many sites out there that make use of it only and you can't download files. Read an English translation of the 'Q and A' here.

Where can i buy this from Europe ? (Jap Version Obviously) Im from Portugal and i dont want to pay Customs (tax from the object being from another country outside the Europe)...

please help

If you're going to import anything apart from books, customs is pretty much unavoidable. Over here it depends on how lucky you are or, if it's a personal package and not a commercial good. Sometimes you find yourself being charged and sometimes you're not.

If you still want to order it, Lik-Sang.com has it for order and so does Play-Asia.com.

QUOTE(inter4ever @ Jul 25 2006, 10:50 AM)Well if that's the case then a PDA should considered by you people.You should try netfront which is a great browser that even has RSS,and PDAs ofcourse have touchscreen to be used which is larger than the DS and also higher in resoulution.Nowadays PDAs became alot cheaper than they were,and for these uses you will not need a powerful one.Even a Windows 2003SE device can be enough.
Yeah, I was thinking about that but, you're not paying the premium for a PDA and neither can you have the fun of DS games on the move too

Looks like the M3 is no longer 100% compatible with all .nds.

Not like I'm all that interested in this browser in the first place. I'm usually around a PC at all times being the geek I am. Here's the review everyone's talking about.

http://www.4colorrebellion.com/archives/20...ns-hit-the-net/
From watching Joshua Zimmerman's video, it looks like we don't have too much to worry about. The interface looks very clean and well-designed. Handwriting recognition doesn't look bad, but we could use a closer look at it. The two browsing modes work well with the DS' small screen, and the entire experience is a beautiful one on the DS lite.

However, there do appear to be some loading speed issues. Switching browsing modes and loading many pages can be agonizingly slow, even with the additional ram included with the browser. Certain websites, such as CNN, take almost three minutes to load. There also seems to be the occasional lag when scrolling a page.

Since pop-ups, Java, and Flash are disabled, it's likely that instant messaging and Gmail chat are out. Every client-independent IM service tried so far seems to have failed due to either those problems or general incompatibility with Opera. Too bad, those features would be very welcome in lieu of an online Pictochat.

=============================
Form Chisese M3 Offical Forum
Someone PM to JYX,then JYX tell him that M3 will solve this.

This will need GBAunion function.
To simulate the memoey,we will need to use 256PSRAM.

The followup video isn't so ... impressive. I guess you just need a lot of patience. Brings me back to the dial-up days.

It's funny how when he tries out "the ... handheld ... recognition" ... and he puts a "hyphen" .. but a backslash comes out .. but he plays it cool .. as if he intended to put a backslash.

"I just PMed JYX and he said he'll resolve the problem. I don't know if it's
true or not but, if it's true then I hope we don' t have to wait long.

Should work like the GBA Link function. If it really can emulate the memory
cartridge, it'll still need 256 PSRAM."

Sounds good. It should really work in theory.

Actually what most european shops sell you will already have "built-in" customs (for instance I bought M3 months ago on divineo.cn for 80-90 USD when divineo.fr sold it around 100-110 EUR)

The best choice you have is using an import site located outside Europe whose shipping fees are low (was 5 USD worldwild on divideo)
perhaps try play-asia, they're very good retailers

Indeed... That's why you find the prices for foreign goods at local import stores so high. Unless of course, they sneaked it through customs during their holidays

I just hope that FF3 will work perfectly on all cards right from the start...

Exactly what I was thinking. But even if the game doesn't work, it shouldn't take long to fix like the Mario game. Hope WRG dumps it a week early so that I don't have to wait for my JP copy to come through the door
