After downloading a 26mb file, which will use up 230 blocks on your wii, the browser channel will show up in your wii menu.

Once you launch it you are presented with a window where you can type in any url, or navigate to your favorites.

Controller Buttons:
You can get to the favorites page by pressing the 1 button on the wii-mote.

The 2 button on the wiimote puts the browser into a large text viewing mode. it reformats the pages so that it is readable and fits on the tv.

The browser supports Flash. It is a version of Flash player 7, and it supports sendAndLoad(). This means lots of fun client/server flash applications can be developed.

Both YouTube and Google Video play on the Wii Web Browser Internet Channel.

Flash 7 support and google video are always nice and quite handy!

OT: I have a theory that a nes emulator already exists for the wii via this browser... It just needs to be tweaked for button support.
If my memory is correct about a year ago someone did somthing like this for the xbox360 with the nescafe.

Are you using component or composite cables? I think I may have read that the Opera browswer displays at 640*480 so if your using composite cables,it will definetely be a little blurry.
