Opera Site

DS

The official site for Nintendo's DS Opera browser is now up. There's now a stack of info on the software, which goes on sale in Japan on July 24. It is only available online, and not through retail.

The browser supports full stylus control, allowing for ease of scrolling and clicking. It has handwriting recognition for picking up your writing, and a keyboard for when you want to type. It also has buttons with 'www.' and '.com' so that you can quickly type in addresses. It also remembers common phrases and words used.

The browser doesn't support a few file types, including PDF, flash and video/audio clips. There is still no plan for a Western release, but rest assured that if it goes well in the region, we'll see it here. They are selling two different versions, so if you order it from an online retailer from here (it should recognise English characters), be sure to get the one that's right for your DS.
