Updated Opera for the Wii
Thursday, 11. October 2007, 04:45:26
Today Nintendo released an upgrade for the Wii, frankly that alone doesn't get me too excited because I still don't own one (this means the next person that reads my blog should send me one). But, what does get me excited is that Opera has also done some overhauling of the "Internet Channel" to make the web browser much more in tune with it's desktop cousin, Opera 9.
I know that in many circles the first feature that people are speaking about is the send a link to a friend feature. I am much more excited about the addition of widgets to the Internet Channel. Since the introduction of Opera 9 many users have created some pretty incredible widgets that give you a whole host of functionality which can now all be brought to your Wii.
Now that brings me back around to the Send a link to a friend feature. Simply put, you can now send your Wii friends a link to whatever site you want and include a note so you can show off whatever it may be (I would send people links to You Tube videos all day long, but that's just me).
One thing that will make your whole internet browsing experience on the Wii so much more enjoyable is the fact that you can now plug in a wide myriad of USB keyboards and utilize it to type in addresses much faster. All of this is currently a free upgrade to any current owner of the Internet Channel and for those of you that don't own it yet then quit wasting your time and fork over the measly 500 Wii points they are asking for it.
