USB keyboards now usable on the Wii?

I find it odd why we always have to figure out the new stuff updated from Nintendo by ourselves. Either way this would be wonderful news because I'm screaming for a keyboard to support the browser and messageboard for months. Does anybody know which specific type of keyboards will work? Oh yes would be handy if the keyboard will also work with the PS3 as well. And if someone will test the browser can you please let us know here if it works? Although I doubt it will work considering the fact other people are saying keyboard option only works with the message board.

Edit: Are???? New surprising feature!!! When I'm in the WII menu and there's a new message, my screen makes a sound and the envelope starts blinking like... hello you've got new messages!

I'll have to get my hands on a keyboard to try it out. When they say it "doesn't work in the browser", I guess they mean directly - like any PC. I can't see why it wouldn't work in the "system" text entry dialog.

...

Have to say this, this is something about Ninty that I really like - they actually CAN surprise you. Both MS & Sony will have this stuff out on a roadmap for months - and the chances are, people will be let down by an update. But if we aren't expecting anything - then its almost certainly a nice surprise!

Wonder what else they have added...
