Wii browser beta released

Nintendo has released a free beta of upcoming browser for Wii. The Opera powered browser can be downloaded from the Shop Channel, Wii Software section. Both the beta version and the full version of Internet Channel that will be released in March 2007, are free, but if you'll wait until July 07 to get it, it'll cost you 500 Wii Points ($5).
The Opera browser includes favourites and zoom features, and the point-and-click interface is controlled by "Wiimote" using the A-button to click and B-button to scroll. The browser is flash enabled so you can view YouTube and such content as well.

Yeah, it does look like new Wii colors. They look pretty cool in red, IMO.

Opera didn't develop this,
it's just based on Opera code.

We put the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra through a very, very long review process. The $1800 mopping robot vacuum is almost perfect, but its obstacle avoidance was surprisingly bad, considering the price - and compared to its competitors.
