...If I could connect I'd post from my Wii :(

 

Edit: Also to the guys that are complaining about features - it's only the trial. Things will be ironed out for the full release.

eep posting from my wii now. Bit awkward to browse with really but better than nothing i guess. Wish there was some way to increase font size rather than this zooming. :(

Agreed about the ironing out things, its suppose to be a trial and the documentation clearly states that there are features left out that will be included in the final release.

Press plus to zoom in.

 

You can also scroll by holding b and moving the pointer where you want to go.

bear in mind that the most popular sites will probably start making optimised views for wii browser. Wonder if nintendo has a showcase site up ??

 

when all is said and done, its a beta after all. The megaton will follow. And dont you just wish you had HD now for a proper browsing experience.

Hitting the 2 button appears to bring up all the links on a page. Pretty cool.

 

Actually, it just makes everything easier to read and navigate.

Hello, typing this from my Wii.

 

We're a band of vicious pirates

A-sailin' out to sea.

When you hear our gentle singing...

You'll be sure to turn and flee!

(Oh, this is just ridiculous.)

 

Come on, men! We've got to recover that map!

That pirate will be done for,

when he falls into our trap!

We're a club of tuneful rovers!

We can sing in every clef!

We can even hit the high notes!

It's just too bad we're tone deaf!

 

A pirate I was meant to be!

Trim the sails and roam the sea!

 

Let's go defeat that evil pirate!

We know he's sure to lose,

'cause we know just where to fire at!

We're thieving balladeers.

A gang of cutthroat mugs.

To fight us off ye don't need guns!

Just jolly good ear-plugs.

 

A pirate I was meant to be!

Trim the sails and roam the sea!

 

All right, crew, let's get to work!

Our vocation's a thing we love

A thing we'd never shirk!

We'll fight you in the harbor.

We'll battle you on land.

But when you meet singing pirates...

They'll be more than you can stand.

Oh! That was a good one!

No, it wasn't.

 

No time for song! We've got to move!

The battle will be long,

But our courage we will prove!

We're a pack of scurvy seadogs

Have we pity? Not a dram

We all eat roasted garlic

Then sing from the diaphragm.

 

A pirate I was meant to be!

Trim the sails and roam the sea!

 

Less singing, more sailing.

When we defeat our wicked foe,

His ship he will be bailing!

If ye try ta fight us

You will get a nasty whackin'!

If ya disrespect our singin'

We will feed ya to a kraken!

 

A pirate I was meant to be!

Trim the sails and roam the sea!

 

I'm getting so sick of you guys and your rhyming.

We're ready to set sail,

though the cannons need a-priming.

We're troublesome corsairs!

And we've come to steal your treasures!

We would shoot you on the downbeat

But we have to rest five measures.

 

A pirate I was meant to be!

Trim the sails and roam the sea!

 

Stop! Stop! Stop!

The brass is what we'll polish

And the deck is what we'll mop.

 

You say you're nasty pirates...

Scheming, thieving, bad bushwhackers?

From what I've seen I tell you

You're not pirates! You're just slackers!

 

A pirate I was meant to be!

Trim the sails and roam the sea!

 

We'll surely avoid scurvy if we all eat an orange.

And...!

...um...

Well...

...err...

Door hinge?

No, no...

Guess the song's over, then.

Guess so.

Hokay, back to work.

Well gee.

I feel a little guilty, now...

 

Man, that took a while.

You must have used predicted/predictive for that. Otherwise, it would have taken a lot longer...

Does anyone else get a black bar along the top and right hand side of their screen? Kinda annoys me.

 

I get that too.

 

EDIT

Oh, and has anyone been on that wiicade thing that was reported here a while ago? It's great fun. wiicade.com btw

the browser is very nice, but what was that block mumbo jumbo when downloading? seems like wii has little user acessable memory, but if so these programs shouldn't go in there.

 

If people want to scroll faster than just B, press A simulnaneously too.

 

I like how it supports flash. :D

 

god... I hate composite cables
