Nintendo Wii To Browse Web With Opera

Opera Software said Wednesday that the new Nintendo "Wii" game console will use its browser to allow Wii users to surf the Internet.
Opera, which has already licensed its browser to Nintendo for use on its DS game controller, will include a version in the Wii, which was once code-named "Revolution". Nintendo hasn't announced the price of the Wii console, but said in a press conference Tuesday that the console will ship in the fourth quarter for a price that will be named later.

People were talking about opera on another thread, so I thought this was interesting.

Well...lets just say I probably won't use it...

For me to use it, it would need to output the pages in HD(its extremely hard to read text otherwise)...and I would need a keyboard for it...typing in the names sucks.

I would atleast need the pages in HD...I could go without a keyboard though(I would make bookmarks...lots of them)...

I've never used Opera before. I heard it costs money to use, though.

If your use to IE you'll enjoy using Opera it's pretty good software, personally I'd take Firefox over it though.

I think he means on the Wii, which it probably will.

On PC your right, opera is a free software(is it opensource?)

Opera is my favorite browser.
I advise everyone to try it out. Love the tabbed windows, and download manager. Also when you restart program, all the pages you were last at will come up.
