    It was mentioned in the conference, but IGN didn't make mention of it.

    Browser without a keyboard?

    Like a PSP?

    Most likely there will be some sort of Keyboard/mouse peripheral.

    If there's a USB keyboard, I can smell linux being pretty catchy on that little box. Can't wait to get my hands on it.

    it probably uses a press-sensor, located and locked in the middle of the drive, so when you insert 8cm disks it "catches" tha disk and drags it further inside to put it to spin.

    Flash Memory
    SD card
    External HDD

    I imagine you could download or install the software as an application, but wether or not it will be a part of the OS is another thing.

    Wii could become a rather nice platform for the Linux community.

    http://www.opera.com/products/devices/ Take a look :)

    Users of the Wii console will browse the Internet using their consoles. Navigating via the innovative new Wii Remote controller, users can visit Web sites in between gaming sessions.

    "Nintendo is clearly visionary in leading the gaming industry into the new era in gaming, and a wonderful partner for Opera," says Jon von Tetzchner, CEO, Opera Software. "We are thrilled to expand our partnership with Nintendo, and work with them to deliver the best gaming experience on the Wii console and the Nintendo DSâ„¢."

    "For our Wii console launch in 2006, we required a browser that was fast and secure with support for the latest standards including AJAX. Opera proved perfect for our purposes and is an exceptional addition to both the Nintendo DS and the Wii console," said Genyo Takeda, senior managing director and general manager, Integrated Research & Development Division, Nintendo Co., Ltd.

    Opera and Nintendo announced their partnership to deliver the full Opera browser for the Nintendo DS on February 15, 2006. The Nintendo DS browser is scheduled for release in Japan this summer. Nintendo has not yet announced its global launch plans for this product.

    It will be interesting to see how Nintendo being a visionary in gaming will apply to Internet browsing.

    for the latest news,reviews etc the internet would be crippled without a browser. Especially considering that virtual console games can be bought online.
