Rumor is that Nintendo has stopped making the DS Web Browser. Well, from what I heard, it wasn't that great anyways and it didn't help that it was only sold online in the US. I have a feeling this rumor is true, but it is just a rumor.

Opera Issues a Wii-minder
The Internet Channel for Nintendo Wii, powered by Opera, is currently available for free via the Internet Channel within the Wii Shop Channel menu. After this week though, this unique Web experience will require 500 Wii points to download. The free grace period ends July 1, 2007. Users who download before this period retain the application at no cost for the life of the system.
The Wii Internet Channel is the exclusive full Web browser for the hot-selling Nintendo Wii game console and delivers
exciting Web content, such as Flash, YouTube and Google, to your TV with intuitive, Wii-tailored controls.
Wii points can be purchased online by credit card in the Wii Shop Channel or by purchasing a Wii Points card at retail stores. The future price of The Internet Channel, 500 Wii points, is equivalent to $5 USD or ?5 EUR. The full version of Opera for Wii is already currently available, so Wii owners are encouraged to take advantage of this free grace period before it expires. Your living room will never be the same.

DS Games and Accesories Press Release
Here's press release from Nintendo about some accessories and games:
The best-selling video game system in the world continues to grow and adapt in new ways. Cool features for Nintendo DS™, such as a voice chat headset, a Web browser and free DS Download Stations, continue to help Nintendo reach out to current players, women, baby boomers and seniors in numbers that have stunned the video game industry.
The dual screens and touch-screen abilities of Nintendo DS have spawned the most creative portable games available, as they allow developers to put new twists on classic ideas. More than 40 million Nintendo DS systems have been sold worldwide. Some recent developments that will keep the DS momentum growing include:
* Nintendo DS Headset: Talking to your DS becomes even easier, whether you’re playing a title with voice input like Brain Age™ or Nintendogs™, or competing in Nintendo® Wi-Fi Connection-enabled games that include voice chat, such as Planet Puzzle League™, Metroid® Prime Hunters or Pokémon® Diamond and Pokémon® Pearl.
* Nintendo DS Browser: By inserting a new software game card, users can transform their Nintendo DS into a portable Web browser when connecting to their home wireless network or at a Wi-Fi hotspot. The browser has easy touch-screen navigation tools, and users can select how they want Web pages displayed on the dual screens. For video of the Nintendo DS Browser in action, visit www.thenewsmarket.com/Nintendo.
* DS Download Stations: Retail locations and a few airport terminals around the country have been equipped with stations that allow users to wirelessly download free playable demo levels or trailers for upcoming games to their Nintendo DS systems.
* Touch Generations Games: Planet Puzzle League marks the latest entry in Nintendo’s Touch Generations brand, which has games that are challenging for core gamers, but are also easy for newcomers to pick up and play with minimal instruction. As a whole, Touch Generations games have sold more than 7.6 million in the United States alone, and have helped expand the world of video games to new audiences.
