[NTLK] OT: Nintendo DS as wifi scanner (was: Re: Public WiFi)

[Matt Howe]

Not really. Although the wifi hardware is more sensitive and works with a
weaker signal, there is no decent browser or Email client. It does not
support SSL nor WAP. So you have the same WEP limits. There is an Opera
cartridge but I have never had the chance to try it. All of the reviews of
the Opera cartridge say it is a very poor implementation of Opera.

No, the DS and the Newton supplement each other well, but neither is a
replacement for the other.

No disrespect for the Newton, but wouldn't the DS be better at web
browsing at this point?
