   Considering Nintendo’s attitude to the web and online connectivity in general, this doesn’t surprise me. In fact I would imagine that those internet fridges would probably offer a smoother browsing experience than any and all Nintendo products.

   You make it sound like a bad thing.

   Sure, it means not being able to access many sites such as YouTube – given given that flash is effectively today’s RealPlayer there are advantages for not having it.

   Well there’s a shock.

   I’d love to sound disappointed, but knew it was coming. Sigh.

   It’s clearly an intentional move to guard software income on the disposable app front for Apple, not as sure about Nintendo but they have been voicing concerns about hobby games being made available.

    It really pisses my off that we still live in a world with a million different video formats, with each and every company pluging there own format which really is just a derivative of the next. A few just fine, but multiple formats!? Really makes the words “full connectivity” seem like a joke. Like on 360, you can only play WMV, and you can play MP4video with AAC – except the catch is it has to be in a specific form of MP4…and so it goes, the days of popping in a video or game at your mates place have disapeared…when all it takes is codecs…

    Wasn’t it confirmed separately a while ago that the 3DS would still support YouTube? I mean, YouTube doesn’t run exclusively on Flash and supports other modes like HTML5…

    Well, it doesn’t suprise me, Nintendo are known for their games, not functional, useable things.

    The 3DS does have the capability of using Flash or HTML5, they may be released in an update, wait and see.

    I acctually wrote this using my 3DS.
