Wii Opera features and April release - free download until June |
Ó
Nintendo of America Inc. has released a press release that confirmed the information we gathered the other day from the Japanese wii.com section on the Internet Channel.The Internet Channel is the Wii's very own version of the Opera Internet browser from Opera Software, and as you know, Wii owners have been able to download a trial version of the Opera Internet browser since December of 2006. Thanks to the Wii Opera Browser feedback page, Nintendo developers were able to make improvements to the final version of the browser.
As announced earlier this week, the final version will be coming out on April 2007 and will feature the following improvements:
- 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"
Even though the final version of the Opera browser Internet Channel will be available in April, the browser will remain free for Wii owners to download through the end of June. After June, you will need to pay for the software download: users who haven't already downloaded the Opera browser can go to the Wii Shop Channel to download it for 500 Wii Points.

So after June will we have to re-download it and pay the 500 points or is it if we download it pre-June we get it for free?
the latter
All the new features seem ok, but the hide toolbar feature is a must. Stupid thing takes up 20% of the screen. Shorter startup time is cool. Not bad for the $5 price tag. Then again, my computer is next to the Wii so there is not reall point for it, at least for me.
"It's time to play with the Web", lol. Thats just asking to be made fun of :P.
If you dowload it pre-june you will get it free and will have it free forever*unless you delete it after june and you want it back then you will have to pay*
hope that clears things up
Awesome :) Thanks!
jeez, QJ writers, when will you start linking up to the sources of your newsbits?
a nintendo press release? - where is it? or was it made directly to you in a verbal form?
start living up to some elementary standards of journalism, people!
it's a press release. It's posted on other sites as well.
If you delete it, you'll be able to redownlaod it for free after June too.
%u2191 not an excuse for such a journalistic omission
plagiarism is what some people would call it
after june the only download for a webbrowser will cost you... the trial will be taken off, in other words if you delete it your screwed.
Yes, it really is plagiarism upon all the misleading information sometimes. I don't know what happend to this site. It certainly use to be better.
Have you ever downloaded a virtual console game and than deleted it to make room for more or rearranage or something like that
When you delete something and go back to it you are presented with a "redownload" button, and the download is free because you already paid for it, i'm sure it's the same with the internet channel
misleading information isn't plagiarism, and if you don't like QJ, please leave.
I'm afraid you're incorrect. Gaming news outlets don't need to source press releases, and it isn't a form of plagiarism (if it were QJ and just about every other gaming news website would be up to their necks in litigation). You really ought to do your homework or know more about how the industry works before attacking our writers like that.
Are they giving it a newer version of flash player? They better.... or I'll kidnap their wives!
Well put. Lack of citation doesn't make something plaigarism, word-for-word copying with claimed credit is.
And when do I get my account validation email? I'm still waiting.
When I go to play some youtube videos or some google videos it always says its done in about 5 seconds into the vid and google video wont even load!!!
*has this been fixed?
