I'm sure it's going to cost a bit. If it runs as slow as the browser for psp, there is no way I'll buy it.

I JUST saw this on The Feed on G4TV.

I'll get it if it isn't too expensive.

I know that there is a DS and DS Lite edition.
This is because it comes with a RAM expander and it is "flush" with the DS. (I can't explain things)

Nice idea, the RAM pack is only optional for bigger sites, isn't it?
Does anyone have any screenshots of it? I've been wondering how you use it, but never found any screens.

Finally, I've been waiting for this. I might get it if I can get WiFi to work for my birthday.

Scroll down to Nintendo DS

It'd be cool if someone figured out how to use the extra space on an SD card as extra RAM for the DS, kinda like that program for Windows that uses a USB flash drive for extra RAM. That'd be skillin'...

Wait, how do you usea thumb drive for extra RAM!?

I'm not getting this. Sorry. It's really slow, and has no Flash. I think I can wait untill I get home to go on the internet.

This is silly. It doesn't support video, audio, or Flash, so Newgrounds, YouTube, and the like are all out of the question. It's like the PSP browser; it's a gimmick thrown on top to get you to shell out more money. (Or is the PSP browser free?)

At whoever said they would just download it and use a flash cart: Why bother with that? Isn't there some VNC client for the DS? You could load that up and use it to control your computer, essentially accomplishing the same task.

You don't need a special program to do that. All you have to do is go under the My Computer properties window and change a setting.

Besides, you don't want to do that. Flash drives have a limited number of read/write cycles to use before they die, so setting up a paging file on one is sentencing it to death.

It's not like real memory is expensive..

And if you think it is you can throw an old 20 gig hard drive in your computer and have that as swap space. (Why? I don't know. But you can.

)

I think there is, but I've heard its slow. If you did use a VNC to do stuff, it would be cool to have a monitor-less computer dedicated to it, so that you don't hog up your main one even when you aren't on it.

I use it, it more depends on what you're doing. Videos, nope. Bad. Regular things, and text/forums, it's great. (the VnC)
