Probably not, as it has a differant processor. In other words... I dont think you can just compile anything on it... could be wrong.

i had a look at the forum, i think there gonna use Linux PDA programes. i didnt know they existed! if they can safly convert PDA programes to work on the DS then a web browser isnt that imposible!! :D

the browser itself isn't the hard part, it's getting the ds using wifi properly that's the problem... once that happens, browsers and irc clients will likely follow soon after...

I would assume firefox would be complicated. The only (non-linux) web browser for xbox was links (linkboks). Its open source, and I would think, less complexed.
