The main reason the Wii browser is awful relates more to the resolution then anything else. They really should add some option, ANY option for upscaling to at least 720p. I tried plugging the Wii into a receiver that unconverted it to 1080p but that had limited success. It can't cost THAT much to just add HDMI and some limited upscaling can it?
For those who think resolution isn't a big deal put your monitors resolution down to 600x800 and try to use it. I think 720p resolution would fix more of the complaints about the Wiis graphics then any other single change (including more processor power).
Yes HD really does start at 720p, the Wii is more EDTV then anything else. I got the component cables back when they were brand new and 50 dollars on ebay and they really made just a marginal difference. Even with better transmission 480p is still just 480p.
I was REALLY disapointed with Nintendo on this one. Remember last generation when they were the ONLY one with HD output on their console (until they removed it becuase not enough were using it at the time, they were a bit early to the HD party then and now they're a bit late)? How times have changed for the worse on that front :-/.
