DSHobro 0.3 Upcoming features

The upcoming features for DSHobro 0.3 are:

- automatic configuration: start the server, start the DS and it works immediatly. No need to enter an IP address & port.
- flash animations & java supported
- text input supported: you can write text using the virtual keyboard
- icons now show up during all load times, so users no longer believe DSHobro is locked/frozen
- resume connection on errors

Some of these features are already implemented, I'll try to finish them all tomorrow in order to submit DShobro v0.3 to the NeoFlash summer competition.

EDIT: some people have been asking questions regarding FLASH support. Remember how DShobro works: the pages are parsed on your PC and an image of the page is sent to the DS. It means the flash animations are played on the PC, and you're only going to get a screenshot of the animation! So don't expect to be able to play videos. Flash support is only useful for navigation on flash websites.

Thank you very much. I just can't wait too ! So I installed the 0.2 version. It works fine, can browse Chinese characters at my DS.
I'm using a no brand wireless router, run the "server.exe" in a PC, then start the DS with the program, connect to the PC with its IP. That's all.
Hope to see your 0.3 version asap!!!!!!
