Play-Nintendo questioned Opera about the Wii browser and what we can expect in the final version.
Q. So here's the big question; when will we be getting the full version of the browser to download on Wii?
A. Opera and Nintendo are planning the release for the final
version of the browser for late March/early April.
Q.The biggest problem (Which is still very small) to do with the Opera browser is that typing can be very slow (Especially for Novices). There was a rumor that keyboard drivers were a possibility. Does that stand?
A. You will have to check with Nintendo on their plans to offer a
keyboard. Opera would not be involved in this.
Q. A question asked by many is if the "safe zone" (Black bar above screen) will still be there in the final version. Can you tell us anything about that?
A. Cannot answer at this time.
Q. The browser has a very unique and natural sense of going online, with the exception of tabs. We noticed tabs were not on the Nintendo DS browser either. Is there a reason for why?
A. Cannot answer at this time.
Q. We know Flash 7 is used because it is the most offical version, but will Java be used in final version?
A. Cannot answer at this time.
Q. Will there be a wider variety of viewing media in the final version, or is Flash the limit?
A. Cannot answer at this time.
Q. Our last question is will there be any updates to the browser after this version, or is this it?
A. The browser for Wii will be regularly updated.
