Wii Internet Channel released

So is the Powet message board down?

Yes. 🙁

I think Powet is allergic to success. :p

Well, now. Doesn’t this just work swimmingly?

Ah, yes. The board. Bit of a rogering there.

Hahah. I’m amazed how it works for little things like signing in to stuff and posting. somehow when I think of a browser on a game system I assume all scripting and such will be totally nerfed but it really works well.

I guess there were security concerns with the Javascript, so this “trial” version is kinda nerfed…? That’s what I heard, but it hasn’t been corroborated.

I’m stoked that the YouTubes work great on there.

As far as I can see, only externally embedded YouTube players work, ne?

Wow, I don’t like how you can see protected fields while entering text. And it’s kinda slow, even for wireless. I also dislike how the dictionary insists on putting a �.us� whenever I try to end a sentence.org

See what I mean?

Indeed strange. And have you ever tried using the “phone” keypad? After the first and before the second keystroke of any word, including the “ABC” or “GHI” key, it suggests the “>” character.

AWESOME. Add to that it doesn’t look anything like the demos, what with all the neat text wrap-arounds (even when zooming in, I find pages a little hard to read) and multiple resizings, lack of keyboard for speedy input, and the fact I can’t get over how slow it is over wireless, I don’t see any reason why I should ever go back to my PC to surf the ‘net.

Not even to write this post.
