| shams said: The new browser is much improved, and fixes many things. It is however NOT perfect, and apart from some additional feature requests - I have had two major problems with it so far. I really hope this news spreads, forces Nintendo to fix these issues and release an updated browser... i) Try visiting "allsp.com" (South Park streaming site, with lots of annoying popups). This site worked with the beta - although I haven't tried it for a while. It CRASHES my Wii (tried 3 times, and crashes every time). Have to reset by holding the power button on the front of the Wii. ii) This one is a little more serious. I visited a couple of sites that have videos hosted on MySpace. NONE of them work (audio works, video doesn't). Seems that MySpace is using an updated version of Flash, that the Wii doesn't yet support. Tried a few other sites (on MySpace directly), and I couldn't get ANY of the videos to work. YouTube works fine BTW. Nintendo PLEASE do something about this, or implement a long-term upgrade/improvement policy. Otherwise I can see the browser becoming very un-useful very quickly. Additional request: the text entry box is SCREAMING for a "last history" feature. Like FireFox or IE, you should be able to quickly choose/start with a URL that you manually entered before - then edit it. Same applies to other text entry fields. Be even better if this was built into the "keyboard" system, so it could learn/remember your most common/recent entries. Anyone find any other problems?? |
First off. I'm gonna try allsp.com on my PS3. (just curious)
Second, flash is a problem for Wii, as becuase it is such a special OS, adobe will have to compile a new version of flash for the Wii/Opera exclusivly. I'm sure that costs nintendo a pritty penny. Dont expect too much out of this area.
I'll get this in the near future and mess around with it.
