Opera asks you guess the web page for free stuff

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.

Anyone else want to contribute some guesses?

DS Lite: Japanese news video

Footage from a Japanese TV news program detailing the DS Lite and its forthcoming web browser and TV tuner add-ons is now available online for your  deeply personal watching pleasure. The clip contains plenty of DS Lite action shots, a brief demonstration of the Opera browser and above all, an unmatched level of politeness.

Note: "Read" link points to an AVI video file.

More DS browser details

Infendo has some of the specifics regarding the recently announced Opera web browser for the DS. First of all, it will not support Java applets, Flash or PDF files, a bit of a bummer if you were particularly keen on watching animations or reading laborious technical documents on your DS.

The pint-sized version of Opera will allow for two browsing modes, namely "fit to width" and "DS mode", a zoom function and bookmarking (don't count on RSS support). It'll also be able to recognize your handwriting, allowing you to transform written URLs into text and forego the kind of slow and clunky on-screen keyboard you may find on other portable systems. A final note points out that the browser will be fully compatible with both variants of the DS.

The Opera DS browser has its Japanese debut sometime in June, with a US appearance sure to follow shortly.
