BenGreat read, and nice interview James
The Opera Browser sounds excellent, there are SO many great new features for the Wii! How the hell will they cram it all in to that little box?!

noneSo he also confirmed the Wii coming in November. Nice. I suspect there may be some sort of usb keyboard compatibility or even Nintendo might release one with a sensor specialy for the oprea browser, with like a small touch pad mouse in it.

How on earth could you possibly try and write without a keyboard? It's hard enough on the DS...

I dunno point and click on the letter? All i'm saying is you can't make it only work for keyboards there has to be some crap way of writing with the wii remote.

That's my big fear, pointing and clicking to type sounds clunky. A third party keyboard will be made eventually.
Great interview though.

James2t3Maby even a first party one to connect to the wiimote, then the wiimote would be free to act as a mouse.

James2t3Yeah 3rd party accesories like extension cables,RGB cable etc are one thing because once you have connected them there either beind the TV or blend in. Controllers though are a big no no cause you have to feel that piece of shite everytime you want to play a game.

TomazInteresting interview.
Having spent many hours trying to use the internet on various different divices, I know I need a keyboard to feel comfortable.
In my opinion, using the net on handhelds like the PSP and mobiles is just a novelty. If Nintendo want Opera on the Wii to be taken seriously they have to at least offer a keyboard option.

Indeed, the Dreamcast recognised this and Sega had a keyboard from launch...
took them 3 years to get a mouse out though
