I use mine all the time. Mainly because I don't have a PC at home. Even when I get my PC back I think I'll find that for casually browsing sites I prefer laying on my couch.

But surely someone who already has the browser installed could just copy it to the sd card, copy to the computer, zip/rar it and upload it for other users?

please email me with the answer

Sometimes without realizing it, I accidentally start jerking the Wiimote instead.

According to this Joystiq post:

http://www.joystiq.com/2007/03/22/fat-lady-sings-opera-free-longer-but-wii-internet-channel-dela/

it looks like it was changed to the end of July. The section reads:

The Opera browser will cost 500 Wii points ($5 for Americans) after the free period, which was set to end in June, but will now be sliding to July.

Was this wrong or did it change again?

The browser is useful but the resolution is too low for anything serious. It is good for when I want to watch TV shows like the office or my gf wants to watch gray's anatomy from the nbc website on a large screen.

Speaking of screens and video games:

The browser is really only good for simpler things, Jonathan Tran is right. I still use it regularly though, mainly for homestar runner and the flash tub on somethingawful. I also use it to check gamefaqs when I'm playing PS2 or whatever

Is the guy in the pic hitchhiking or simple telling someone everything's OK?

I think he's hitchhiking.

twinkie, if you already downloaded it, you get to keep it for the life of the system. Even if you delete it from your wii, you can redownload it at no cost.

When I lost my computer for a week (due to a broken CPU fan), the Wii browser provided a suitable internet connection.

I like it but I wish you could use an SD card for internet cache. Especially for long flash videos.

I like the browser, when it's too hot for my laptop to run high processor things I sometimes use it to casually surf the internet, watch Youtube, and such.

I would definitely invest in a memory card just for my Wii if they allowed it to browser cash onto it so videos wouldn't become too much for it. Also, I hope Macromedia hurries up and allows other devices use the latest Flash, so they can update and all the videos everywhere will become available.

Maybe if companies who run websites started complaining to them about the inability of people within the new market of web-surfing being able to view latest content they might break down and start releasing it for other systems.

It really works well for when i have an impulse to look anything up and the PC isn't turned on/is occupied

They still don't have a solution to the pop-up problem, although the browser is better at tracking which page is supposed to be the "main page" and which are the ads (as opposed to the days of the beta)

This was novel for about a week but honestly, after using it to look at porn, play some of those wiicade games, and check my email a couple of times, I ended up just deleting the browser and going back to a laptop. The good thing is, I guess I could still get the news and weather through their respective Wii channels.

I like it but surf the net on my pc...it came in handy the other day though to have my parents check their email and get their anniversary ecard from my sis on the HDTV in the living room...

I would love to see them upgrade the software by adding support for Real and Windows Media video...it's bad that there can't be HD output of web sites, but at least the system can rearrange text and also zoom easily to make reading easy
