Some of you may have been knowing this since long time ago, but to me this is something new: you can baiscally hook up any USB keyboard to you Wii's USB port, and it will work with Wii applications like Internet Channel (the web browser), and Everybody vote. In fact I am using the Internet Channel to create this blog message right this moment.
I am using a wired USB keyboard, but based on what I read from the Net, almost all wireless USB keyboard will work. This actually makes much more sense for those of you who have your Wii set up in the living room.
To me, this feature is more of a gimick than a necessity, because my Wii is right next to my computer, and using a Windows 7 desktop running Firefox 3.0 or Chrome 2.0 is so much better a browsing experience than using my Wii. In fact, I jsut found out that in order to create a blog in Blogger, I have to use the HTML editor instead of the WYSIWYG editor because Wii Opera browser doesn't support those fancy Javascript. However, it's nice that it is doable.
BTW, I need to get some friends on Wii to justify starting to play more online games on Wii. Any friend code?
