Who knew that WWW stands for Wii Wii Wii?
You know, I'm not one to repeat press releases verbatim, but:
On Dec. 22, Nintendo and Opera Software bring the Internet to the living room couch with a free trial version of the Opera Web browser. Wii owners with a high-speed Internet connection can download a free trial Opera browser to activate the Internet Channel of the Wii Menu and begin surfing the Web. Link to NINTENDO press release
Pant pant drool drool… more after the click.
So, this morning I awoke to the slot-light of our Wii flashing blue, which means "You've got a message!" Clicky clicky to find out that Nintendo has enabled the Forecast Channel. Now we can use the Wii to check out local and international weather. Other than a neat globe feature to test Jack's geography skills, it's eye candy. Then Nintendo drops the bomb on me with their announcement that on Dec 22, Nintendo will offer as a trial download, the Opera web browser!
Now, the will this be a full version of Opera? What about plugins (i.e. will it have Flash and allow us to view Google Video/YouTube?) Time will tell, but I'm q-wii-vering with anticipation!
