It's interesting that they would choose Opera as a browser for their console, since it isn't exactly the best choice for standards and having pages show up in the right format. Still a decent browser and it should be interesting to see how they choose to integrate it.

Are you sure you're thinking of the right browser?

What browser has better standards compliance than Opera? I believe Konquerer does... Opera has the better standards compliance past Firefox 2 and IE7.

I've read that as this is only a trial of it, things (flash based things, I think) may not work yet.

The first revision of the Wii will include a hard drive or some other storage other than flash, correct?

It is also support DVD playback...

That's what I read.

SD Card backup storage, I believe. Everthing else is internal. The Wiimote also has a few kilobyte of storage for Mii transportation between consoles.

Not the first revision. The second revision of the console will include it, but its only been confirmed in Japan. In addition, it is a hardware revision, so launch consoles won't support it. Like it matters.
