Dsi firmware v1.4 brings Facebook to Japanese handhelds photo

Japanese DSi systems have just been blessed with the latest firmware. The update isn't stuffed to the gills with features, but it does bring one noteworthy feature -- Facebook connectivity. The only other improvement with v1.4 is faster image display with the DSi camera. Since you're not an infant, however, the camera improvements probably don't interest you.

If you love Facebook and somehow don't have a portable electronic that can access it yet, be calm. North America has been promised Facebook connectivity by this Fall. This probably means Europeans can expect a similar update in November 2014.

wish the ps3 did that... luv my ps3 but really?! can we get a better browser? the only time my friends and my ps3 crashes is when we use the browser. facebook and aim are total shit on it. aimexpress doesnt allow you to press enter and some facebook features dont work sometimes.(koolim works ok[ basically an inferior meebo which refreshes what you right every 5-10 seconds...-_-])

I've got the update, though I don't see facebook and frankly, I don't really care.

It also makes it so you can't use your flashcards on the DSi anymore according to GBATemp

Europe got Wii Sports Resort two days before North America, so what more do you people want?

Just incase people don't get it, that was sarcasm!
