Nintendo is planning on adding web browser and a TV tuner to the Nintendo DS sometime around Wednesday, at least in Japan. Both of these add-ons will cost in the range of $30 so unlike the PSP, its not free. It seems Nintendo either made a boo-boo by not making the DS firmware upgradable or they are business geniuses.
The browser will be based on the Opera-based which is typically used on Apple and Unix machines. As for the tuner card, well limited only to "One-Seg" broadcasts rather then analog signals. Since the One-Seg protocol is just now beginning to launch in Japan, I wouldn't hold my breath on the TV capabilities ever making it statistics.
In other news, more Tetris DS shots. This game, especially because of its online capability, will be the must have game of the year. Planned release is still in March and hopefully will stay there.
