Today, Nintendo announced the inclusion of a web browser for its portable
powerhouse, the DS. Naturally, if the DS is getting web surfing capability, wouldn't the Revolution also see some of
that action? According to Nintendo Gal, who thought to phone NOA to get the official word. According to the voice on
the other line, "Revolution owners will have the option to purchase that functionality."It seems fitting, but no concrete details have yet to be announced. We are hesitant to call this a confirmation, as the information came from a phone operator and not a higher-up (Shiggy, Iwata, or Reggie). With GDC and E3 coming up, though, that all could soon change.

Although technically you might be able to use your DS as a touchscreen keyboard/mouse for the Revolution which would be pretty sweet.

Yes I have. I used an extra computer I had for emulation, Counterstrike, AVP2, and internet browsing for visitors. I used S-Video and increased the font size a notch in Windows and in Firefox. Worked fine, and was the biggest "monitor" in the house. Said computer has since been given away and will be replaced with a laptop.
Personally, I like how Nintendo does it as opposed to Sony. Sony forces the price of such unnecessary add-ons to the consumer by including them, where Nintendo leaves them optional. Just like with the DS. If you want music, videos, and browser, you could get them. If you don't, you don't have to pay the extra for it. Thus your game machine can still be simply that: a gaming machine.
The only way a browser would be universally useful with a console is if the console had the ability to run a browser in the background. If you need to look up a code or a FAQs, you should be able to, and then switch right back to the game.
Or Xbox Live/Playstation HUB/Nintendo WiFi could just provide these features...downloadable guides that could be accessed with the Guide (or respective) button. Food for thought!

Huh? Calm down with all your accusing, ha ha. I was being sarcastic. I think the image was meant to be a joke too. It's um *cough cough* interesting (but funny because it is) a photoshop image that looks like it took no more than the 2 mins the author said it took lol... And I'm not SG007 (who is that?). If you search my name, you'll see I use this name to post here. Or look at the link.
