Wiinternet: the wii opera browser
I might be crazy. I am currently Posting this post from my nintendo wii. As such, please forgive any errors. The beta for the browser was released not more than twenty minutes ago, and so I have only played around with the most basic features. Youtube appears to work, though the playback is a tad choppy; expected from a beta I suppose. I an excited about using it to get game tips from guides, however. I will keep you guys posted as I discover and learn more.

I was playing with it this morning and all I can say is "wow". And it all became alot clearer when I learned how to zoom in using the little "+" sign.
that's cool. how do you input text with it?
When you click on a text field, an onscreen keyboard pops up and you just point and click. As you type, it will suggest words that you might be typing, and you can click those and it will automatically complete them.
There is also a T9 style interface, as well. In this mode, instead of a keyboard, you see a telephone number pad. To type, you just hit the keys that have your number, in order. For instance, to type "Hello", you would hit "4-3-5-5-6". This system works because there are only so many possible words with each combination of number presses. I found this mode to be much faster than the on screen keyboard and used it to type my blog post.
Looks cool -- one less reason to never leave your couch. J/K
Too bad they don't have some keyboard attachment.
Mr. Quiring why were you kidding about leaving the couch? Your right!
