first post using wii browser?

Moojuice

This is my first sort using the nintendo wii free browser. The predictive text function is pretty cool. Cant beat keyboard though.

Wow, I need a bigger TV, zoom works fine, not sure if I'd pay for this browsing experience though.

twinQuins

Aye, this be my first post. Keyboard would be nice but having bb in the living room is great.

after the initial novelty has worn off it's just another useless in real practice.

Not enough resolution to read text properlly and zooming in is only hindered by the awful and awkward screen scroll.

Its a pitty yea cant use a usb keyboard instead of the Wii remote

Moojuice

(This post is made the traditional way) I think the browser is pretty cool, especially for playing youtube videos etc on your tv. Other than that the resolution is pretty crap and its too slow to do any meaningful browsing.

It's a bit gimiky, I'll probably only use it for watching some youtube videos and things like that.

Cianos

I think its great. Handy for checking email if you couldnt be arsed going and booting up the computer. Its obviously not going to replace or compete with traditional browsing but as a bonus to an already great console I'm very happy with it.

First post on wii.... it's surprisingly easy to use and might actually prove easier for those 1 fingered typists:)

its not the best but its handy enough.

cool if its in your sitting room.

though i hope the proper browser fixes all the stupid issues that it has now.

just got my wii today, this be my first post using it! browser is much more usable than i expected. i read something a while back about a site that was collecting flash games that were suitable for the wii, anyone come across it/know the url?

Irish Halo

It is nice for free but I definitely would not pay for it. I've been using it to catch up on some old Simpsons I aint seen stored on Daily Motion it works quite well for that. Serious browsing would be unpossible though

^^ unpossible (sorry had to say)

no chance nintendo could release a keyboard or who knows a firmware upgrade (gotta love them) allowing you to use usb keyboards...

Creamy Goodness

tbh i don't like the way only certain things will work in the USB slot.

i mean isn't the whole point in USB is that it's UNIVERSAL. not much point if you have to firmware update all the time to allow something to work.

If they had a good youtube skin would be nice. But for watching stuff on YT,DM, etc this really could spell the end for TV.

first post for me using the browser, very cool for things like youtube and newgrounds.

just discovered by accident (can also be discovered by reading the help, which i did subsequently) that pressing [2] on the remote gives you an easy to read the text layout. Works great for pages with lots of reading.
