glad to heard people isn't stupid anymore
I'm back on the PC too.
It sucks, absolutely sucks.
The biggets problem is the resolution output. I can't read a shit if not zoomed in, and scrolling the screen is painfully slow (WTF, why they didn't put the hold and rotate thing like in the earth model from Weatherchannel?)
It's nice only to check youtube an soo, which looks quite nice. No any other use I can imagine right now. And writting metod is so ****ing as hell slow...
So yes, the browser sucks and with the "I can't see a shit problem" I think it's over.
20~30 seconds. It's pretty fast, and the webs load impressively fast (I expected a lot more slow loading)

Anyone else that cant stay connected to the Shop Channel?
Obligatory “posting from my Wii” message. It's not that bad, if they quadruple the scrolling speed it should be very usable. Also, the predictive text input works quite well. The page rendering is faster than I expected, so the scrolling speed is just a matter of tweaking the UI.
eh I actually have a practical reason to use the browser. One of my hot female friends refuses to get with the times and get a computer that can handle surfing the web at high speeds so her only way of getting online is with a Wii (and subsequently my only online communication with her besides the phone is through Wii messages). With the browser I can now send her links to stupid stuff on youtube and GAF. 
(she's a nintendo fangirl so does not have a PS3 to do the same thing)

Wow you guys, I am shocked. I thought for sure I could throw out my PC and use this browser exclusively.

now Wii owners, if they choose too, will be able to see the first online pictures/videos of the next Nintendo systems, GameBoy Next, Wii2, DS2, when they are introduced, but using their Wii to see it instead of a computer. never before has this been possible on a NINTENDO 
heh, during SpaceWorld 2000, i was not at a computer, but in my room, on my Dreamcast. I surfed over to GameSpot (or was it called Videogames.com then?) and saw the first posted picture of the GameCube.
it was this very picture IIRC

Me too now you mention it - had black bars at the top which I thought strange as I never have bars any other time when using the Wii. I don't see it as a big deal, just a bit peculiar.GeoNeo said:

same here man. I'm in Chicagoland. the small description of the Internet Channel and the picture of Google homepage, that has been there from Wii launch day, is still exactly the same as it has been. the download/update hasn't reached the U.S. yet.
Supposedly, 12:00am Pacific time the entire U.S. will get it, I guess, but that's not confirmed. I'm sure wii will get it a few hours before or after midnight. if UK, Europe and AU have it now, no way Nintendo would make the U.S. hold out for much longer. I guess they are sticking to the official release date, the 22nd or damn close to it.
Hmm, it loads and renders quickly, but yeah, the scroll speeds seem to be too slow when zoomed in. I agree with others that something like the Forecast Channel globe-scrolling methods and speeds would be a good thing.
There's single column view, but that doesn't make gaf any more readable - the font is way bigger than it needs to be. Either NeoGAF is just plain low-res unfriendly, or it seems like this Opera beta is missing some intermediate view options.
youtube does work like a charm though.
