I know that a DS can access personal wireless networks, my question is:
Can a DS connect to Nomad on campus?

The reason I ask is that I am thinking about getting a DS, especially since it will get an Opera browser in December. I want to know if I could authenticate with Nomad and browse (almost) anywhere on campus.

I am hoping that since the DS will use a standard web browser, Nomad will just transfer it to the authentication page.

For now, i suppose the only answer can come from trying to play Mario Kart or Metroid Hunters (or any WiFi DS game for that matter) through Nomad.

natively, no.
I suspect you could authenticate through opera though.

i havn't been able to connect to Nomad yet.

No, you can't register the MAC with nomad. Maybe when Opera comes out you can though.

so slow....

how do you webbrowse with ds?

The DS web browser is already out in Japan.

Since a DS is region-free, all you have to do is import one.

At least, I assume that is how FanatiK did it...

^correct.


Any of you guys used the PSP to web browse? It's a tiny bit better than that on the DS, but still not something I would ever want to do.

If you e-mail ITD they will add it.
