Hes asking if u have to pay for OPERA more than once, and the answer to that is no. It says that opera for wii will have the functions of opera 9 for desktop... Does that mean voice recognition too?

web on the wii is free because it is wireless if you have a wireless router with your pc then you will only have to pay for the internet connection for the pc not for the wii because the wii is using a wireless conection, idiot.

To confirm for those who are still unsure, the payment is 1 off. The idea is that in 2007, people will have to pay a SMALL fee to DOWNLOAD the opera browser. It wont be a monthly fee. I'd be happy to pay for the opera browser, since it's obviously taken a lot of work to create a browser for the console.

Geez, some stressy people over here today are there not? lol
Anyway, Im glad that it will be free everywhere until June 2007. This means that over here in the UK, we will have the Wii Browser free for just under 7 months ![]() That's quite good really! Nintendo could have chosen to give us 1 month free trial...but...BOOM! 7 months! (7 and a bit more for America) |

Why else would Nintendo put it on the official website? And it doesnt look that clunky...well, maybe a little, but that it probably because Wii is not a proper computer. I suppose we cant really expect it to be as easy to use as what we are doing now. (Imagine text entry for example...there will probably be an on screen keyboard where you have to hover the cursor over each letter...imagine how hard that will be with the Wiimote) :S |

I'm a bit confused:
I understand that Opera will be free until June 2007. So this means that from nov 19 until june 2007, you will have the Opera Browser for free. But i am confused after that: from the posts above it seems that you will have to pay a one time fee to get Opera. I was thinking what they meant that if you bought the Wii before that time and downloaded Opera, you didn't have to pay for it again. Quote:
