I think it's pretty awsome watching Youtube videos on my TV. :D

But other than that, there's not  a lot I can think of doing that would be more effective on the Wii's internet thing though. Still a very good feature though.

I would say it's pretty bad.  First off, due to the resolution of a standard tv, the webpages are huge which makes scrolling around them a pain.  Second, the control is bad.  It's difficult to move around and have accuracy.  You have to constantly zoom in and out to find something to click on or see anything.  Third, the hud is overly simplistic.  It's hard to do anything specific.  Fourth, it has no support for avi, wmv, nor mov files...meaning videos are out of the question.  Fifth, typing on it sucks and is slow.  Sixth, it's slow in every concievable way.  Seventh, it crashes easily.  Eighth, there are no windows to choose between.

Rating:  2 out of 10. 

I deleted it after a few days.  It wasn't even worth the space it was taking up on my internal memory.

you were obviously using the trial version. the full version fixes all those problems except the resolution, and the videos. also, theres no way they can use wmp, as its owned by MICROSOFT.

 

 for the windows thing, you need wiiminder, and the tying takes getting used to. but go to tv-links.co.uk, cause its content works great on wii, me and my friend watched waterboy on it the other day. (a lot of the content on the site doesnt work very well though, even on a computer)

No, it was the full version.  I never tried the trial.  It's better than nothing, but I guess PC internet surfing has spoiled me :twisted:
