They're using Opera.

Question is, how much is the Opera card gonna cost?

This sounds pretty cool. They're also coming out with a digital TV tuner and IP voice chat add-ons.

I don't really know how useful it's going to be, as it's not often that you'll have access to WiFi but not a computer. Still pretty cool anyway, though. The touch screen makes it leagues better than those cell phone internet browsers for sure.

The big question is whether it will support Flash, because most Japanese sites (including Nintendo's own) are heavily dependant on it.

There is a Flash plug in for Opera, so it might support it.

They'd have to get permission from Macromedia first, because it's stated somewhere in their license that flash can't be used on third-party devices like the DS. That's the biggest hurdle, I think.
