Many of you have probably heard already, but Nintendo is supposedly launching a beta version of their Opera Internet Browser tomorrow. I know people in the UK have already gotten it, and so far YouTube, Myspace, Facebook, and uh.......coughbangbroscough work pretty well, as does Homestar Runner and other Flash sites. It's free to download and after July 2007 it'll set you back 500 Wii Points. So yeah...if you've got a Wii, why not give it a try?

I plan on using it quite a bit. Does the beta include the usage of a USB keyboard with it or is it just wiimote functionality only for now?

Holy Moon-doggy, this is awesome. Posting via the Wii-mote is actually pretty simple. Checking Facebook and MySpace on this thing is incredibly satisfying. | |

Anyways - I tried to download the browser and it kept failing on me. :/
How long did it take most of you guys to download it? Because I dunno, I'm having problems.

Same here, took about 3-5 mins to download. I got it at about 3am, so my lack of problems may have been because I jumped onto it so early ^^; | |

Like a cell phone, you have to put a space there then backspace to get the shift part to work.
I haven't tried using a keyboard or mouse with it yet. Has anyone done so? And did it work? I'm having issues with YouTube as well. Something about Flash being turned off or out of date. Anyone know how to fix that?
