Yeah this sucks...I hope by April they mean within the FIRST 2 weeks of April cuz this is ridiculous. I mean really I want the full browser NOW. They said it would be ready by now and yet we have another delay. Probably because Nintendo is now trying to figure out how it can please us all which is a good thing but shouldn't they have thought of all these things by themselves? Or better yet gone to IGN and read what they've said regarding the Channels page, VC, etc.?

Why are people so concerned about the Opera browser on Wii?

You all have computers right?

The Wii has no keyboard, thus awkward, secondly it doesn't support all plugins and msuic / video codecs etc.

Obviously you're not a software developer. You can't just rush something just because some guy on a message board wants it NOW. It'll be ready when it's ready.

I prefer to use the wii browser for some things, such as internet tv, as my monitor is awful and tiny, and internet tv + bed = win.

Its out of Nintendo's hands: Opera is the company behind the Opera browser.

The nintendo pressroom has released a list of what improvements the final version will have:

INTERNET CHANNEL UPDATE: OPERA BROWSER FOR WII

Since late December, Wii owners have been able to download a trial version of the Opera Internet browser. After receiving substantial and helpful feedback from consumers, friends and family members, Nintendo developers have made a number of improvements to the final version of the browser, including:

* improved zooming and scrolling
* an improved zoomed font
* shortened startup times
* quicker access to "favorites"
* an ability to hide the toolbar
* buttons that will instantly type common preset letters, such as "www" or ".com"

More details about these and other functions will be announced in the near future. To ensure that the browser incorporates all of these enhancements, the final version will be available for download in April, a few weeks later than previously announced. The browser will remain free for Wii owners to download through the end of June. After June, users who haven't already downloaded the Opera browser can go to the Wii Shop Channel to download it for 500 Wii Points.

I'm sure whenever it comes, it will be worth the wait,

Honestly, you shouldn't be surprised if Nintendo delays something. And it's not like it's just Nintendo that is making the browser.
