Title: I Made This Topic On The Internet Channel!
Post by: Suffix on December 22, 2006, 02:26:26 AM
The trial's out! And this took 4 minutes to write.

Glorious day!

I viewed and posted in this topic using the internet channel. :D I kind of had to work around things to capitalize that D...

It was such a strange (but wonderful!) experience, that I had to verify I actually posted using the computer. It works, alright, and although you can't type quickly, it still works well. I played some of my old presents on the Internet Channel! Now I'm going to sleep...

Well, like Bird Person I'm posting in this topic with my wii too.

Huh?

Obviously, they fail at typing Wii-style.

Here's an interesting "feature" I found with the text predictor. I was typing "bulb" into it. The predictor had three words: bulb, bulbs, and Bulbasaur. Clearly it was made by Nintendo!

I made this post on my crappy computer >:(. Well, I guess there are some advantages to using a computer, like smaller fonts & the ability to use the keyboard during flash games. When I get my Wii (hopefully) this christmas, I'll be able to join in on your fun.

Is everything Nintendo promised (like support for flash nd AJAX) in the beta web browser?
Title: Re: I Made This Topic On The Internet Channel!
Post by: MaxVance on December 22, 2006, 07:34:30 AM
Well, it supports Flash from what I've used it for (YouTube to watch the TMK movies).

This was actually the first site I went to on the Internet Channel. :) My arm is falling asleep...

So YouTube works on it? Nice. It'll make viewing so much easier.

Too bad my connection is gone. Maybe I can take my Wii to work and connect there...

Well, it did.  The jerks disabled it.

What got disabled? YouTube? (It works for me.)
Title: Re: I Made This Topic On The Internet Channel!

Uh-huh, YouTube still works.
Title: Re: I Made This Topic On The Internet Channel!
Post by: PaperMario on December 22, 2006, 04:35:53 PM
Well, it did.  The jerks disabled it.

It doesn't work for me either. I was beginning to think there was something wrong with my Wii specifically.

When I first saw this topic, I went nuts. Oh sure, I'll bet the cat's been out of the bag for months now, but it's interesting that the Wii is probably the first mainstream console to have full-fledged Internet capabilities other than online gaming.

By the way, I need a Wii. Badly. Gimmie!
Title: Re: I Made This Topic On The Internet Channel!
Post by: BP on December 22, 2006, 07:24:21 PM
Who are you and what've you done with Glorb?
Well, this is just the beta... It can't do some things such as open MPEGs or MP3s... But flash works. And this is my second Wii post.
Title: Re: I Made This Topic On The Internet Channel!
Post by: Eclipsed Moon on December 22, 2006, 08:21:59 PM
*cough*

It can open MPEGs and MP3s, but that's a secret, and, considering the source, probably illegal.

So, Saturn, Dreamcast, and PS3 weren't mainstream?  Or, PS2, GameCube, Xbox, if counting unofficial methods.  And DS and PSP if counting handhelds.  Certainly the Wii is the most accessible and fully-featured of them all, though.
Title: Re: I Made This Topic On The Internet Channel!
Post by: Lizard Dude on December 23, 2006, 04:42:47 PM
I would not consider the Saturn mainsteam and the Dreamcast barely mainstream. The PS3 only came out one day earlier. The DS browser isn't in our country yet.

Glorb is fairly correct.
Title: Re: I Made This Topic On The Internet Channel!

Awesome. I'd give my entire stock of cheese to have this. Have there been hacks like this with the PS3? If not, then there's something new us Nintendo fanboys can gloat about the Wii >:).
Title: Re: I Made This Topic On The Internet Channel!
Post by: MaxVance on December 24, 2006, 07:54:31 PM
It's a simple "hack." Clearly that's just a system for controlling one's house that is accessible via the Internet. And that person is accessing it with the Wii.
Title: Re: I Made This Topic On The Internet Channel!
Post by: Chupperson Weird on December 25, 2006, 12:46:46 AM
It isn't a hack at all. And yes, it should be accessible on the PS3, if it has Internet and a browser.
Title: Re: I Made This Topic On The Internet Channel!
Post by: Robert on December 25, 2006, 08:40:24 PM
Hi, guys! I finally got my Wii today and downloaded the internet channel!

It's actually pretty fun. The on-screen keyboard is decent and somewhat reminds me of Animal Crossing for some reason. Admittably, it is kinda slow, but it gets the job done. Still, it's fun typing on the TV.

Overall, I like it. Maybe not as convenient as a computer, but I enjoy it.
Title: Re: I Made This Topic On The Internet Channel!
Post by: Suffix on December 25, 2006, 10:47:16 PM
Slow? My Wii is a decent distance from the router, and it appeared to be just as fast as my computer.
Title: Re: I Made This Topic On The Internet Channel!
Post by: Robert on December 25, 2006, 11:06:16 PM
I meant that typing on the on-screen keyboard is slow, but I kinda said it in a way that made it seem I was calling the browser slow. The Wii browser is pretty fast. I can't tell the difference between the Wii browser and my computer speed-wise. Sorry about that ^^;. Most of my comments in my post made on the Wii browser were generated towards the on-screen keyboard used for typing.
Title: Re: I Made This Topic On The Internet Channel!
Post by: Suffix on December 25, 2006, 11:35:08 PM
Ah-ha! You are correct, the on screen keyboard is somewhat painful to use. Auto-completion helps, usually, but you just can't replace QWERTY. OR DVORAK! Please don't hit me!
Title: Re: I Made This Topic On The Internet Channel!
Post by: Chupperson Weird on December 26, 2006, 11:33:04 AM
I can use the onscreen keyboard with the greatest of ease.
Title: Re: I Made This Topic On The Internet Channel!
Post by: PaperMario on December 26, 2006, 08:37:37 PM
So can I, but it's still annoying...
Title: Re: I Made This Topic On The Internet Channel!
Post by: TEM on December 26, 2006, 10:22:56 PM
Greatest of ease. Still annoying. Does not compute.
Title: Re: I Made This Topic On The Internet Channel!

It makes sense.  Take, for example, working at a fast food restaurant.

I hope thsi isn't a bump, but i found the title of this topic to be amusing, for some reason. It sounds almost like someone saying "I posted this on the Interwebs Computer!"
Title: Re: I Made This Topic On The Internet Channel!

Well, back then posting with a Wii was something notable.

Typing with the Wii is extremely easy for me although it still takes me longer to type.

The Wii internet is awesome.
EDIT: Oops just saw the last post date. :/

Six days does not usually mean a bump, especially in cases where the post adds to the topic (like yours).

I think we'll probably get mad when somebody says, "Look, guise!! I'm postin onna Wiiiiiiiii!" when this topic hasn't been responded to in a year or so.
Title: Re: I Made This Topic On The Internet Channel!
Post by: MaxVance on January 14, 2007, 12:11:12 AM
At least that would be better than starting a new topic. But we would be more likely to get mad because it won't be anthing new or interesting in a year.
Title: Re: I Made This Topic On The Internet Channel!
Post by: Suffix on January 14, 2007, 12:14:39 AM
Well, why would anyone create a topic about news from a year ago? ...Unless they just discovered the function...

Yeah, MaxVance, you're right. I suppose bumping that isn't for the sake of bumping isn't that bad.
Title: Re: I Made This Topic On The Internet Channel!
Post by: Lizard Dude on January 14, 2007, 02:19:13 AM
As long as they were actually posting from a Wii, I don't think I'd get mad at a bump ever in this topic.
Title: Re: I Made This Topic On The Internet Channel!
Post by: Luigison on January 14, 2007, 02:02:17 PM
How do you select/copy/paste text on Wii?
Title: Re: I Made This Topic On The Internet Channel!
Post by: MaxVance on January 14, 2007, 02:08:42 PM
Maybe that'll be implemented with the final version of the browser. Or a firmware update for system-wide functionality.
Title: Re: I Made This Topic On The Internet Channel!
Post by: Lizard Dude on January 14, 2007, 03:00:55 PM
I don't know if you can select text in a browser, but you can select your own text in the typer (for deletion purposes pretty much).

Hopefully you all understand how the Internet Channel will be sold. For those who don't (Bird Person), it's free from now until June 2007. After that, you will have to pay $5 to download it if you didn't get it before June.

And yes, I am posting this through the Internet Channel.

Yes I just downloaded it as well. I like it so far.

You can zoom in even more than before!
Title: Re: I Made This Topic On The Internet Channel!
Post by: Lizard Dude on April 12, 2007, 12:09:07 AM
It'll probably get more updates in the Wii's lifespan.

You can also zoom out an obscene amount! (lol, HTML from the Wii)

July.  You can still download it through all of June.

The best features have to be the fact that it takes up the whole screen (adjustable size so you don't have to be in the safe zone, toggle out the toolbar on the bottom), and the fact that you can use the control pad to scroll (instead of doing nothing and having the most annoying scrolling ever with the B button).
