Here is some answers I got for some questions I asked a while back. Some may find interesting.

First, you asked about which standard the Wii console is compatible with. The Wii is compatible with both the 802.11b and 802.11g standards. It is not limited to the b standard only.
> 2) Its impossible to set up many email addresses for use with the Wii.
> From about 5 email addresses I tried only one set up and is able to

We are aware of occasional problems with sending and receiving e-mail on the Wii console and are working towards a resolution. At this time, we don't have any further information than that; however, I will forward along your feedback.

The note in the manual about moving the entries in the address book is a misprint. This is possible with the channels, but not with the address book entries.
> 4) The manual is a little confusing when it comes to the way the blue tray

Finally, the blue disc slot light will briefly flash on when a disc is inserted if the power is off at the time the disc is inserted. We appreciate your feedback, and will forward it along to the appropriate departments.
