I'm not sure... Maybe it would be better to make a new browser specifically for the DS...

Well, I been saying that for quite awhile.
Built from ground up, it could be designed realisticaly for the Ram requirements ect.

However, as others pointed out to me, its an absolutely shit load of work.
And something a bit beyond my skill levels. (Heck, I know just enough to teach people about how to make Gravity
work :D )


So I thought maybe starting from this, and stripping it/converting it as a group project would be more realistic.
I notice it does a lot of things besides basic browseing, so a few of those could be cleared to start with.

Q: Can I port the browser to other mobile devices?

A: Yes, one can port the same open source core to other mobile devices just as Nokia has done. You would need to port the KWQ layer in WebCore, write a new Web Kit and a new Browser UI to create a browser on a new platform.



So, thats easy then :D :D
(we wish)
