Nintendo DS to watch TV and surf the web with Opera

Nintendo DS to watch TV, Opera | Tech News on ZDNet

Joe:
Get all the juicy detail from the above link to the ZDNet article but here is the down low..

Someone has really set a fire under Nintendos' arse these days. First they annouced they were gonna move from an image of being "kiddie" to being "hip and cool". Now they are bringing out (at first just in Japan) a TV card and web browser for their hand held system, the Nintendo DS.

Nintento is declining to release specifics on the TV card for the DS. However they have released info on the web browser which was developed by Opera and will consist of a Wi-Fi card and software allowing the DS user to browse the internet in areas with wireless connectivity.

This all sounds groovy to me and I am very glad I own a DS myself. If you don't own one either go grab one or check out the new thinner and lighter DS Lite version that is soon to be release in Japan and then US (Nintendo DS Lite).

Oh...and if you get a DS make sure you check out Animal Crossing. It sounds and looks soooo kiddie but damn it is addictive!!!
