Slow and muddled on the DS screen, Hotmail isn't ideal. "We'll just compose a quick email," we thought. Several minutes later, we were still typing in the first sentence.

A GamesRadar office favorite, YouTube loads and looks great, but the videos simply won't work on DS because of its lack of Flash support. No talking cats for DS then. Shame. A pointless visit.

Visiting friends on MySpace works surprisingly well on DS Browser. And their faces look oh so shiny too on DS Lite's sharp screen - just like real life then. But again, pages with multiple images can take a loooong time to load. But if you're into MySpace, you'll probably spend a lot of time on it anyway. Just don't expect movies or songs.

The online answer-to-everything-that-may-or-may-not-be-true encyclopedia works very well on DS, loading quite quickly and offering everything it usually does.
