Its only been designed to use the slot-2 RAM expansion pack. Plus it isn't upgradeable. We'll have to wait for a Version 2 of the browser, if there ever will be one.

That said, I still find it the most intuitive and web-capable small screen browser I have used. =) I enjoy my DS browser (too many nerds here, too few computers) but I really wish Flash could somehow have been worked in (memory’s not THAT expensive these days).

The DS Browser relased on June 5, 2007 in the US (DS Lite version) does NOT support Flash. I bought it on release day. Also, from what I can tell, it doesn't support JavaScript either (it's not rendering the doppler radar loops from the National Weather Service web site, which use JS). Very disappointing, Nintendo and Opera. Not only did you fail to include these key web browsing features, but you falsely advertised them by posting an incorrect features list on your official site. Booo! Sadly, it’s true. The DS Browser relased on June 5, 2007 in the US (DS Lite version) does NOT support Flash. I bought it on release day.

But seeing as how the system can hold a favourites page, it should theoretically be possible to download a compatible Flash player, even though in all probability it's more a dream than reality. A big shame Nintendo didn't allow for anything like an SD slot for such downloads, or use some of the empty space within the expansion cartridge for said capabilities - imagine YouTube on the small screen...
