In what actually amounts to a short delay compared to many launches, European users of Nintendo’s DS now can get their hands on the Opera web browser that Japanese owners have been surfing with since February this year.  £30 (or €40) gets you the much-vaunted browser which can operate in two-modes – either stretching a webpage across both top and bottom displays, or showing the full page on one display and a magnified section on the other. 

Nintendo DS Opera Browser

An on-screen keyboard and handwriting recognition takes care of URL and other text entry, adding just one more feather to the cap of Nintendo’s flourishing handheld.  There are two versions of the browser, for the original DS and the DS Lite, both cartridge based and neither, sadly, supporting Flash.

    Leee….if the PSP was that good, then I would argue that the sales figures between the DS and the PSP would be reversed. The fact is, the DS is kicking PSP’s butt all over the world (not just in Japan).

    I’d say your statement would be true IF….
    the PSP had voice recognition,
    the PSP had handwriting recognition
    the PSP had 2-3x the current battery life
    the PSP had some decent games (vs, console ports (for the most part))
    and finally, the PSP was half the price.

    Then, the PSP would be better than the DS. Until then…..it’s crap.
