even though it's not the greatest handheld browser, it's the only one for Nintendo that I know of, at least until the Wii comes out with Opera built-in.

Unless I'm much mistaken, the Wii is not a handheld as you imply here. Also this video can't tell much so how can you know if it's not the greatest? Which one do you think is the best handheld browser? Anyone wanting real facts can go to http://expressreviews.googlepages.com

As for handheld browsing, PPC Netfront is vastly superior as you would expect on a 600mhz Axim.

It seems to handle java based sites much better, and is highly configurable. Speed wise, there doesn't appear to be much in it. I also didn't like the fact that when I installed Opera on my SD card, it still dumped 2mb of files into my precious main memory. Setup options seem a bit more basic than Netfront as well.

Once you get around the broken spelling and poor grammar, it actually looks like he's offering to give you an STD. He obviously fancies the pants off you, but do you like him enough to accept it from him? :-)

you also failed to explain what in the hell anything that you or i have posted has to do with natural selection?? please elaborate on your prior statement.
again no hard feelings, i understand that chronic masturbation has had an adverse affect on your brain. its no longer your fault. but maybe if you left your cock alone every once in a while.....

Your attitude in here reflects your ability to communicate with others in real life. Hence, you're unlikely to get laid as you're a rather hateful person. Therefore, you're unlikely to breed.
Summing up, your attitude is what is going to remove you from the gene pool. And that's natural selection.

>> well going a bit OT. I prefer Netfront. > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > compared to other browsers. Most tests I've seen give Netfront thumbs > down on page rendering. From my personal experiance on Pocketpc, Netfront 3.3 has proved more capable at rendering sites than those visted on Pocket Opera or IE. Just a personal view. Tied together with the VGA screen of the Axim, and handheld browsing is great.
For example. I have a Nabaztag which I use an webbased app to send messages to. Works fine in Netfront, always errors in Opera.
Infact, I can't remember a site that Netfront hasn't displayed correctly.
As I said, from a memory point of view, where internal memory is at a premium, I didn't like that despite Opera being installed on a CF card, it still stuck 2mb of files on my internal memory ! Netfront appears to be more configurable, for instance, setting where the cache should be stored. Opera also forgets proxy setting when they are unticked. Very annoying if you are using the browser at work through a proxy, then when you get home, you aren't.
Maybe there are some hidden configs in Opera, that I'm not using, but Netfront displays a fairly detailed and easy to use config screen.
Oh and if you try and run Netfront directly after running Opera, the PocketPC crashes and needs a reset.
Its all personal opinion, but Netfront does it for me, and judging the the reviews (and getting back to the original posting), I'll stay well clear on the DS browser.

No, it's the person writing the sentence who doesn't understand how to use the English language correctly. The main problem is that he was trying to say two different things at the same time. Firstly that it's not the greatest handheld browser available, and secondly that it is the only browser from Nintendo until the Wii is released. The English language is a tool which can be used correctly or incorrectly. As the saying goes, a bad workman always blames his tools.

A hit counter is a bit of a useless way to gauge popularity, it only takes a glance to realise something's not worth bothering with.

This feature makes it great fun for pun cascades, but downright irritating for diplomacy or law. In French, for example, legal documents are _easier_ to read than informal prose.
Heh. Usenet (via google groups) on a DS would be amusing, must try that if I ever get hold of the browser.

AirRaid - 28 Jul 2006 19:16 GMT I didn't say Wii was a handheld, and, I didn't mean to imply that it was. I typed out that post in a few seconds, didn't really bother to check spelling, grammer or the way it would read.
I meant, the DS Opera browser is the only browser for a Nintendo machine until the Wii comes out.
