The final version of the Opera browser will be available at the end of March 2007, and will be free for all Wii owners to download through the end of June.

It's also good that they are giving it for free (at least to start with) when it is finished, and after that, 500 wii points isn't much to spend (£3-4?).

Can't wait to try those wii flash games someone pointed to before :D

I hope when the full version comes out it supports proper full screen. Been watching southpark online just a shame the browser as that huuuuuuge white bottom bar
