Wii browser beta released

Siggy @ Dec 22, 2006 06:19 | 11 comments

Nintendo has released a free beta of upcoming browser for Wii. The Opera powered browser can be downloaded from the Shop Channel, Wii Software section. Both the beta version and the full version of Internet Channel that will be released in March 2007, are free, but if you'll wait until July 07 to get it, it'll cost you 500 Wii Points ($5).

The Opera browser includes favourites and zoom features, and the point-and-click interface is controlled by "Wiimote" using the A-button to click and B-button to scroll. The browser is flash enabled so you can view YouTube and such content as well.

Yeah, it does look like new Wii colors. They look pretty cool in red, IMO.

Comment by: thecraigc (Dec 22, 2006 13:18)

black would be cool, me thinks.

Comment by: AirGaijin (Dec 23, 2006 15:53)

they've got at least 5 other colors from the basic

Wow..... we're not off topic at all!

Rename this thread: "Look! New Wii Colors!"


Brilliant!

not impressed with the wii browser so far needs mpeg wmv AVI mov mp3 support to download files

and worse no keyboard support when are we going to be able to use the usb ports on the back of the wii for something good

like a keyboard and mouse maybe

well see if a usb keybboard that came with ur computer works

Comment by: halfhere (Dec 26, 2006 13:57)

still, i think nintendo is putting their names back on the map.

Comment by: tabletpc (Dec 26, 2006 17:06)

no the usb keyboard doesn't work in the beta

don't get me wrong im glad that the beta is there but it sucks because Opera has released really good beta's before even for pc this beta is a piece of junk im amazed that Opera which prides itself on great software devlopment would release this garbage im very sad

Opera didn't develop this,
it's just based on Opera code.


Brilliant!
