Has anyone downloaded the Internet browser from the Wii online Store? I see it works out at about $5, but, what is it like? Is it worth the money? Can one really surf the net from it?

I paid for the Wii Internet tonight. It is great! I love searching the web and having that big screen to see it all on. Especially tonight because we are looking to book a holiday so I am searching out all of our choices on the wii internet. Fantastic to see the hotels and the views on the big screen. I came on to start a topic on it but did a search and found yours. I see it has been 3 weeks since you posted this topic. Did you download the wii? How do you like it? Do you have a nice big screen to view it on? Oops I better go check the rest of the conversation as I might find the answers to my questions there.

I have been doing everything on it. It is great I am loving it? I mean a little slower typing in the addresses but then again they do give you words to choose from so you don't have to type everything. It is great you will love it. At least I think you will. Last night I had a cup of tea, curled up on my couch and surfed the net on my big screen tv witht he Wii. Isn't that great?

The reason I have held off is that I have a laptop and so does my wife, so, currently we can surf the net while watching TV. I still considering it though.

It's never too late to reply to one of my topics, I also check back. I didn't download it yet, as I wanted some feedback. It does sound like I may go ahead and do it. Can you play games on the Internet browser on the Wii? That would be ironic, wouldn't it?

I wsa lucky enough to get it when it was free and other than text entry (I'm told the latest version supports USB keyboards, alas my only spare keyboard is PS/2 :shock:) it is great. With last.fm it makes a great radio, and with YouTube is makes an OK T.V. ;)

It was only 5 dollars so I downloaded it onto my new wii. The connection was cool and worked pretty fast. I went onto youtube to get Full TV Screen'ed videos and it worked fine. It is nice to search the web on your TV but Id recommend a wireless keyboard because it is a pain typing in a long url 1 letter at a time using the wii mote.
