I am writing this post from my Wii!

The interface is nice and minimalistic. Bookmarks, back, forward, refresh/stop, etc. It does take a long time to post things because you have to point and click on a keyboard, but at least there's an autocomplete function in English, Spanish and French. Gonna switch to PC now... There is also an option to format the site into a column for easier viewing on some sites.  I found this very convenient for news sites like cnn.com and economist.com

EDIT: Alright, back on the PC now.

I have spent about an hour or so just browsing around with this thing on various sites, and I haven't seen a formatting issue, except on the homepage for BF2s.com where the menu items are misaligned with the centre column.

I was able to see videos on youtube to my delight, and I can imagine the benefits of using this for surfing porn in the comfort of your own bed or couch to spawn some new knuckle children.

I am really liking the Wii weather forecast too, in that it uses NASA satellite photos of the world and the star constellations behind Earth (when you zoom all the way out) seem to be accurate. Reportedly, NFL Madden '07 for the Wii uses the weather forecast channel to give you the same weather in your game as the home city that you selected in the forecast channel! I love seeing seemingly unrelated things being integrated with eachother.

Wii FTW!

Yes how nice of you.  I did perform a search while I was browsing on my Wii.


I saw that one, and unfortunately, that thread is closed because of its apparent worthlessness.  In my thread I am actually discussing the features of the browser. But thanks for showing up and contributing in such a productive manner.

I know that this site probably has browser statistics. I just wonder if there's been a noticeable increase in Opera traffic today (that's because the beta browser was released today). God only knows that this will only be a catalyst for them for users to start using it on other platforms.

So let me get this straight, the Wii uses a third party browser instead of their own proprietary browser?  That sounds pretty smart to me...  Now if I could only get IE7 on there...  (Haha, just kidding, don't flame me to death.)

I would hate to have Internet ExploDer on my Wii. I haven't had any formatting issues on sites I visit except for BF2s' homepage.
