DS Web Browsing Looks Refreshingly Good

[wraggster]

Browsing the web on a handheld console or mobile phone has never been the most pleasant experience. The new Opera browser for the DS looks like it might change all that. On the eve of the Japanese launch, a story at Pocketgamer outlines the features and links to a video of the new browser in action."
From the article:
"The video illustrates the browsing technique, which sees the lower touch screen used for scanning zoomed-out pages and interaction via the stylus, whilst the top screen displays the zoomed-in detail. It also shows both text entry and handwriting recognition systems for rapid entry of URLs, as well as a host of standard browser features including bookmarks

My jaw just dropped. Apologies if this is a FAQ, can anyone point me towards the best URL for a DS newbie to learn how to get a web browser on the console?

I didn't know this even possible!

It's a zoomed out view though which is a bit annoying.

I can't wait to get my hands on this. I can't wait to see what the media makes of it as well!
