Hi everyone, I have a DS Lite and considering purchasing the Web Browser software. Apart from wanting to access the internet, I'd also like a quick and dirty way of creating simple quizzes for my kids. I'm wondering: 1/ What javascript support comes with the browser? If I had my questions as jpe

I agree with zingerhill and thing-fish: slow, but just about usable with handheld skin. The DS has a very nice toggle between Overview (1 screen shows a zoomed in view of the other) and SSR (Small Screen Rendering) which is useful. However, the nature of the SlimServer / SqueezeCenter interface is

Hopefully this review doesn't end the discussion or attemps at developing a feasible DS remote. This would be a huge addition, since the only complaint I can see with the SB3 is lack of a great visual interface. The LED is nice, but if you just want to browse through your collection it is not so

I've had a chance to use this thing for about a week now so here are some thoughts: 1. You should think of this as a good WAP phone browser. It really pales in comparison to any computer browser or even the Wii browser. It is very slow to render pages and has a lot of problems with complex sites.

Ordered one today from Newegg. Both my kids have ds lites. Should have it by weekend. Will report back when it comes in on how it does as a slimserver remote. Looks pretty interesting: here is a link to the opera site which has some screen shots--actually allows you to combine both screens.

So, tell us, how did it work? for $30, I'm thinking of getting the browser but I haven't yet found any good writeups on how well it works with gmail, slimserver, googlemaps, flickr, etc. Those are the sites I would want to use. -- methane --

I just bought the DS Browser for $30. I bought it primarily to use as a SqueezeBox remote. I tried it at the office and it worked pretty well. The stylus makes it much easier to use than the PSP browser. Can't wait to give it a shot with SlimServer. Has anyone else tried this and found a skin tha

Hi, It strikes me that the DS Lite's Opera based browser and touchscreen could be a great, cheap control for Slimserver. Has anyone tried it. Another idea is a 'fat client' that is made available as a 'game' cartridge for Slimserver remote control. These could help compete with the Sonos control
