Wii:Opera now full version(uk)

[strumstrum]

woke up this morning to glowing blue slot on my Wii:eek: , I knew exaclty what it would be so after updating the console and downloading the full version Opera browser I thought id check it out.

firstly it is a lot faster in loading pages and the favourites section and B button scrolling icon are very, Nintendo'ised in appearance.

you now have a settings option to change auto zooming and auto hide the toolbar which is very nice, you also have a search function now but the biggest change and the change that has opened the browser from 'gimmick' to 'I will use this' status is the clarity of the web pages now, which seems to be down to the clever auto zooming(I think), every page I have tested is very readable and it is now an excellent armchair browser.

also Opera have included there own fave sites icon where you choose your location and you will get known and well used website faves from that country, a great little addition.

well done Opera I say...:thumbup:

And it works for US as well. I guess this is a global thing.

If you have the latest system update you probably wont get the blue pulsating light.

I didn't get the light either. Just hit the store channel, select Wii Ware, hit the UPDATE tab on the Internet Channel. Should be good to go.

I got the blue light, it actually loked pretty cool.

The browser is way better than the trial version particularly like the improved zoom and the ability to hide the (now smaller) tool bar, very good for you tube / orb, etc.

I got the blue light this morning and I was right to guess it was the final version of the Opera browser.

So is the browser any good? Yep. I think it's pretty good and it has certainly addressed the problems of the trial version. It's faster, it's easier to use and it evern looks better.

I'm really happy with it. Thanks Nintendo!
