Title: Posting from my wii
Post by: Lunarman on November 11, 2007, 02:03:11 AM
Hi people,


I`ve finally got my wii connected to l`intraweb so I thought I`d post here to show you how awesome it is. The only problem is how long it takes to type, eg 10 min to write this message. Now I have a sore hand so you`ll have to excuse me. 

Bye
Lunarman

That's pretty cool Lunarman! Didn't know the wii could do that. :cool:

Does the wii come with a keyboard? How did you manage to type?  :blink:

Well, i think just having a wii  is pretty awesome by itself. I'm looking forward to owning one someday. In a not so distant future maybe.  :P Glad to know you could do a lot more with it than just play games. ^_^

That's cool. I didn't know the Wii had a general browser capability. Apparently, it accepts cookies and all. Does it allow scripting, Java, ActiveX..? *mind reels at new world of evil virus / trojan / browser tracking this might spawn*


BTW, probably not the best idea to end any internet post by noting that now you have a sore hand. People may get the wrong idea...  :ph34r:

I`m putting my foot down (at the risk of putting my foot in it).

Posting on my PC now. Just to explain to everyone the wii doesn't have a keyboard it has a kinda onscreen keyboard which you have to point your wiimote at and choose letters to type. You have to have a steady hand, and that's why mine was hurting, :P .

And in response to your other question. Wii is an Opera based browser but you can't do additional browser addons. So, no flash, java. It does do cookies and active X though which ain't so bad.

This video shows you the idea of typing, (although it wasn't intended for that) but you get the jist

So long as your posting FROM a Wii, and not WITH your Wii.

The latter just isn't right...  :D

Just so you know, I'm preeeeetty sure that a recent firmware update and internet channel update allows you to plug a USB keyboard in the back of that sucker. Also, I wuv my Wii <3.

Aye, as in "Robert Fripp," "Frippertronics," and other clever technological accomplishments.   ^_^
