Opera on the Nintendo DS

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the now-that's-a-wierd-one dept.

dxprog writes "Opera has announced that they and Nintendo are going in together to create a web browser for the DS. The browser, based on Opera's core engine, will take advantage of the system's two screens and the touchscreen to provide on-the-go portable internet access. From the article: 'Within just five seconds of turning on the system, the Nintendo DS is already fully operational. This makes it the ideal device to enable people to swiftly obtain the latest information from the internet, wherever they are.'" Update: 02/15 15:50 GMT by Z : More information about the browser and game announcements available from Gamasutra, and Iwata's aim that they'll hit 10 Million DS units sold is reported on the Next Generation site.

    Within just five seconds of turning on the system, the Nintendo DS is already fully operational.

    80 seconds after this, Opera should be fully loaded and ready for browsing.

    Thanks for your opinion. Next time I have an opinion-shortage I'll be sure to consider it. In the meantime, can we get on with discussing the technology.

    1. Comma should be before the closing double quote
    2. "their product's name being correct" is awkward

    at least you got the "their" right!
