Opera to Release Updated Wii Browser
Details of Opera 2.0 for the Nintendo Wii gaming console have been made public, and it looks like some cool new functionality will be included in the December release. Danish site Game Reactor first reported on this new edition of the browser.
Wii users have logged several complaints about the console's current version of Opera. It looks like the browser maker and Nintendo have been listening to these gripes, alleviating some issues by adding a group of new navigational buttons among other features. A "tab cube" will give you the ability to keep six sites easily accessible. In addition, Wii Mail will now be viewable through the browser. Compatibility with the Wii Speak accessory is also set to be included.
Opera 2.0 will cost 500 Wii Points, or $5 USD. However, the download will be free for those of you who paid for the first version of the browser.

What a non founded post. It is 4/18/2009 and still nothing. No Flash 8 or 9 support, Surfing Sucks. I have a 47 in TV and I a page still does not fit left to right on one screen. There should be a autofit feature. Or WII should support better screen sizes. I program for a living and I know this could be much much better
