Surfing the internet and watching movies on the Nintendo Wii using the Opera Browser:
It’s so neat now to be able to surf the net on the Wii.
..::_PICS_::..
We have the Nintendo Wii and they just released an Opera browser for it. There is something fun about surfing TOGETHER from the couch, sites like flickr and youtube are a lot of fun to watch together. Then we went to google video and watched some full length stuff such as the full movie Jesus Camp and a few documentaries. VERY COOL. Now that we can DO this, watch a movie on the wii, together, from the couch, theoretically w/ a bowl of popcorn between us, we are now wishing that there was a download-on-demand movie rental website where you can stream the movie IN THE BROWSER, not a watch it in a seperate player. So we just searched google video and youtube for interesting stuff.
Here is an article about download movie services but as far as I can tell, none of them stream the movie in the browser.
Using the WiiMote from the couch to watch movies is great; scroll around, pause, go back, etc.
