While this definitely goes down in the unsourced rumor book, word on the 
If you're not too confident with your LOLDS photoshopping skills, there's always another option that you might want to consider -- actually buying the Nintendo DS Lite Browser. Spending money is for chumps, we agree, but with Amazon's day-long sale, you can feel significantly less chumpy about parting with your cash.
If you're not quite comfortable with your ability to write the letter "F," then this is the video for you! Alternately, it could be seen as a quick test of the DS Browser's handwriting recognition. It was hard to tell, since we were completely focused on the Soul Glo commercial from Coming to America playing in the background. Check it out after the jump -- it's so short, you might even want to watch it twice.
For those of us in the U.S., the DS browser is finally being released. For those of you in other markets, you've already had several months to check it out. But here's the thing: do you browse on your DS? If you're thinking of getting one when it's released in America, do you plan to use it often? For those who have it or want it ... do you have any other portable means of accessing the internet? We're curious about how many readers are out there browsing on the go.
Siliconera got a chance to check out the American release of the Opera browser at SXSW, and they handily took some video of the demonstration, so we can see ... what Japanese and European DS users have been seeing for quite some time. We've been waiting so long for this application. Could it really be on the way?
Obviously, wireless tube extension technology was only in its infancy here in America when Opera released its own internet browser for the Nintendo DS mid-last year. Tucked away in a laundry list of releases, however, we've noted that Opera has finally decided to port the darn thing over for our enjoyment, coming on June 4th.
Here's good news from Europe for a change -- last week saw the release of the Opera Browser for the DS. The browser, which has two viewing modes, retails for €39.99 (or about £30). And hey, you got it before the U.S. and not too long after Japan. So if you're reading today's news about delayed games from the comfort of your couch with DS in hand, know that you have some small bonus.
Opera is running an interesting contest which rewards those who know the net the best with a DS Lite and Opera web browser. By heading on over to their contest page, you'll be asked to identify four different webpages by merely seeing a zoomed in snapshot of the page's contents. The 4 different pictures on the site are tough to identify, however we're reminded of Nintendo's Touch Generations page by the fourth picture. That isn't the correct answer though, as we've scoured every inch of the site and failed to find a matching graphic.
