Internet browser on Wii

Yes, flash is incorporated. All YouTube videos should play as well seeing as Opera can't really be dumb enough not to put in some sort of media codec to view/stream things from the net.

now your asking the right question.

might be a bit mcrandom but, how do u type on the wii? (soz for the random post for the random thread, but your talking bout opera and i guess you have to type in the url etc, so how do u type with the wii?)

I do in wall control touchpanels for homes, and we have internet browers built into them. We also do wireless versions as well.
What we do is have a button to press to trigger an overlay of a keyboard to type with, the client uses their built in stylus to type in the address, then press it again and it goes away.
I can only think Nintendo would do the same thing, just without the stylus, it's gonna be point and shoot with the remote, just like it works now.

The other theory would be to use a wireless keyboard that is IR driven just like the remote control. You point it at the sensor bar and it reads the sensor.

there is already a patch to browse online....there is a video of it on youtube.

There is no PATCH to browse with the Wii. There is a way to trick the DNS of the Wii to load other web sights.

I don't mind paying a one time fee for this, but what about an antivirus program like Norton or AVG, what would Nintendo do in order for you to surf safely? Or will that cost a little extra?

to write a virus for a games console would be obscenely difficult...

trust me your safe

but that doesn't mean you should frequent pr0n sites... as Nintendo will be watching you...

I would guess a bluetooth keyboard would be more likely & easier to develope/ setup
