I wonder if Nintendo is already working on a system of "signs" using the Wiimote to input alphanumerics, something analogous to Graffiti in the Palm Pilot.Hey, here's another idea for a Wii game: Be a Baseball Managers! You act as the manager, giving hand signals to your players on the field by waving the Wiimote.
Yeah, there are a few modes in DS's Opera. One uses the top window to show a piece of the big version of the page, and the touch screen allows you to move around a magnifying box over the full webpage (but smaller) that changes what you're viewing in the top part of the screen. Another mode is the fit to width mode in cell phones, and I think there's a few more but I don't know for sure.
PS3's browser isn't going to be Opera, and Opera beats out any browser (minus extensions) on any computer. Besides, PS3's control system wouldn't be good for a browser anyway.
a usb mouse and keyboard wouldn't be good for surfing the web? jeez, I've had it wrong all along then.and for that matter, to get the full Wii experience I should go bust out my old 640x480 monitor and surf the web with Opera on my 700mhz pentium 3 with 88megs of ram with the Nintendo Powerglove attached via USB. good idea.And personally, I choose Firefox.

Yes, because I sooo want my Xbox360 catching the next computer worm that takes advantage of IE.
