How to Work the Internet on a DSi

The Nintendo DSi is a hand-held gaming system you can use to play games, take pictures and even access the Internet. Before you can surf the Web, you must download the Nintendo DSi Browser and set up your Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. The browser supports Javascript and most image types, but it doesn't support Flash. It can only display http and https websites. You can use the Nintendo DSi Browser near a wireless router or at a hotspot.
