Yay or something. Actually it's pretty cool. It can play YouTube videos and use iLoveIM so I can use MSN from my Wii wth!
The only problems ive seen are that widescreen opera doesnt actually fill my screen for some reason and if someone on MSN sends a message while you're typing the typing window closes and clears the text box D:

How many windows/tabs can there be?
Have they honored their promise of making it temporarily free?
Awesome news Peveus. I can't wait to download it

It is free. It's a BETA version so it's unfinished or so they say.
As for tabs, I can safely tell you none. You can only look at one website at a time however that may change because I noticed it was running multiple windows in the background even though you can't manually change between them. When I left MSN to browse another site, when I received a message later it snapped back to MSN...
We can hope for multiple window support later, its only common sense!

Awesome! Thanks
I hope that it does support multiple windows/tabs in the final release.

I like how Nintendo sends messages to let you know that there's new stuff to download. I wonder if they will send us all a Christmas message on the 25th?
XBOX Live users have been given 500 free points for Christmas, here's hoping the free game rumour is true.

I was going to post this from my Wii, but it's in my family room, and my whole family seem to have something in their heads that tells them to watch whenever I do something, and the Wii keyboard doesn't exactly allow for the most secretive of password inputs. They REALLY need to fix that.

It was only for the top 2000 spenders on the Marketplace in Aus / NZ.
The Wii browser is pretty damn nice, much better than the psp one anyway.

another happy browser user. im actually quite surprised how well it works, and it is pretty fast. not quite as fast as the browser on my pc, but its certainly no slouch either.

Downloaded it last night, but seeing as the PC and the Wii are next to each other, I really can't be bothered using the Wii to go online when I can type this fast on a keyboard.
But it is pretty cool to be able to use it.

^ Nah, is an optional thing, the related words appears on the top of the keyboard in a row as you keep typing. Weather you chose to use the words is optional. (it does not distract with what you are typing)

Try aiming your Antenna at 45º to your room.

i made this for my router when we first got it, almost doubled the signal strength at the access point. should take ~30 minutes to make all up.
if you're wondering what to use for materials, i used the card from cereal boxes for the main construct, and it's sturdy enough. you might want to go heavier if it's in an area likely to blow away, but i'd think it would be heavy enough for most users.
(i only made one btw. but i guess it depends on how far you are from the source initially.)

I managed to turn it off by pressing the button to the right of all the words that came up.
