Does Wii web-surfing work?

Nintendo recently updated the trial version of its Internet Channel to the full Opera-powered browser, but is it worth your time?

Console-based web browsers don't exactly have the best track record, not least because you have to do without the convenience of a mouse and keyboard. Of the browsers available on today's consoles, the PS3 browser is feature-packed but clunky, occasionally slow and suffers from poor compatibility with more complicated sites.

The PSP browser is much like its bigger brother only slower, and the DS browser, which is also provided by Opera, is agonisingly slow. Fortunately for Wii, Opera got its act together and has come up with a far better browser than we expected.
