I'll go ahead and ask the one that should go without saying.

will there be updates to the Flash/Java/etc. in the browser?
and if so - when would these updates happen, with new updates to flash and java happening much more often than every 3-4 months.

Rooolllll OUT!

Will there be a video streamer, WMP or Quicktime(seems more plauseable)?

Is adding tabs an option?

It's going to be shit and you jolly well know it.
Cubed3 Member

I agree. I would like to see a flash update. I can't even view everything on Nintendo's own website because i don't have the latest version of flash player.

Also, when are we getting a keyboard? I'm getting tired of having to type like this. It takes way too long. It's pretty basic....we could use the wiimote as a pointer, and a keyboard for typing.

Cubed3 Member

Are they planning any future updates to the browser or is this the final version?

Cubed3 Member

I'd like you to ask them about updates (especially flash, java etc like MistaSergio said already), if they'll add tabbed browsing (I NEED it^^) and if they're going to add more "special" characters...my nick has the-->

I think the Flash thing was to do with some legal mumbo with Adobe/Macromedia with some devices not allowed to use the latest version, or something.

add audio(mp3) and video(mpeg) support to the browser

Cubed3 Member

Love to see support for Silverlight plugin(Windows Presentation Foundation), in addition to Flash.

This way Netflix (will be supporting Silverlight format) customers can stream movies through their WII.

Cubed3 Member

Quite easy question, is it possible to enlarge the cache the wii uses to browse the internet?

Because it happened more than once it couldn't completely load a page because there just wasn't enough room to save the page to...

Pretty annoying! Maybe an option to disable pictures, like in the DS browser...

Cubed3 Member

is opera going to update the flash player,from 7 to 9?.

Cubed3 Member

I had the same problem myself, personally i want and need tabbed browsing for it to be a viable way of browsing, i want increased support of flash and others including the suggestion above of including the silverlight plugin*, and also the current panning on pages is very sensitive and cumbersome, so i would like to see a new mechanic for doing so..

As Jorge said, the problem with Flash is they just didn't get the development tools to do versions 8 or 9. So they say.

Brains into gear people!

** How big is the team dedicated too Opera for the Wii ?

** Do you think Opera for the Wii and DS will/has boasted the number of PC users of your software?

** Do you plan on any new features for the paid for version, or maybe later ?

** Did you consider some sort of intergration between OperaWii and Opera on the PC for those that use both? (eg, bookmark shareing ect).

** Opera rocks. Yet why hasnt it got the recognition Firefox has? :p

ok, maybe skip that last question Smilie

As most of these people here ar probably asking
is opera going to update the flash playing some time soon


ModeratorStaff Member

The ability to update flash would be good, & keyboard compatibility, they should do that *eventually*

What's a Wii Internet Brower anyways? Smilie

any chance of having settings (cookies & favorites... etc.) associated to each user's Mii?

would save loads of time when the missus wants to check her Gmail account.

Will there be a keyboard coming out for typing and/or playing certain flash games that require keyboards. Will there be any updates including flash or video players?

If anyone has Palkia, Spritomb, Ditto, Bulbasaur, Chikorita, Totodile, Cyndaquil, Treeko, Mudkip, Torchic, or any old LEGIT legendaries, I'm willing to trade.

How much have Nintendo paid you?

Cubed3 Member

When will tabs be available?

When will there support for basic multimedia files like mp3 and mpeg files (and preferably mov, wma, and wmv)?

Will there be a cookies setting so you don't have to type the same information over and over (like Shagster said)?

Are there any plans for keyboard suport?

And put me as another one wondering about flash updates.

Yeah, I'd like there to be a viewable history, even the DS version had that.

Also there aren't enough back pages, once you go back 5 times it won't let you go further.

Also, the ability to clear a body of writing, like in the DS one, & sending information right away, rather than quitting the writing & then clicking send.

The DS version had all of these features, don't see why the Wii version can't.

Also, what is a Brower?
