Over here in Europe, anyway. Don't know about you guys across the pond. Couldn't hurt to check. EDIT - It's up for the US.
You'll need to perform a System Update in the Wii menu, before downloading the update from the Shop Channel. Uses about 300 blocks.
Features:
- Parental Control support
- Optional Internet content filter provided by Astaro (available soon)
- Improved start-up speed
- Clearer text when zoomed-in
- Improved Wii Remote navigation
- Improved scrolling and zooming
- Built-in search via Yahoo! or Google
- Option to hide Toolbar
- New cursor animations and operation sounds
- Ability to view page security information
- Option to delete cookies
- Built-in support manual
Also, the channel preview screen now looks all flashy. And all this for free!
Go get it.

I assume it's still free?
Just had a quick fiddle with it now, and it's pretty decent. Definitely faster than I remember it being in both start-up and actually loading pages, some nice cursor animations, the text on various forums looks clearer... Good stuff.
I'll check in a few minutes, ... but when the actual browser was released you guys got it in Europe a little bit before we got it in the US.
Heck, it's still Wednesday here.
EDIT: got prompted for a system update so .. maybe in the US?
Man this is a pretty long download.
Edit: Wii post wii post lol
EDIT: That was a long ass download.

Or not..... streaming video doesn't seem to work in either .wmv or .mov format.

I thought I read that somewhere... Huh..
And like the guy above asked, do we have to delete the beta first?
:winky:
I yelled "holy shit!" when it happened because I honestly was not expecting it!
Stupid Shop Channel.
Butter.
I want tabbed browsing, dammit. With the option to enable popups.
If it had that you could use MSN Web Messenger while you surf.
I have a Flash demo I made where there's a ball on-screen, and it rolls toward the cursor when you press A. It ran at 30fps with no drops in the Trial, and now it fluctuates wildly, at an average of 18fps or so. It is a really, really simple demo, too.
Youtube videos are also choppier than before, but not by the same amount as my simple demo.
Or tabs.

This is not optimal.
piiiiiiick
I wish they'd make zooming in increase the text size like in the news channel. I hate scrolling back and forth so much, and the single column view thing's ugly.
Oh well!
of course, I'm in canada
but I think they treat us as one big region anyways
Now I can't connect to the fucking Shop channel, it just sits there on the "Connecting screen" until I get up and physically cut the power.
Fucking typical.
Out of all the online stuff, I would think the fucking SHOP CHANNEL would work the best. It is the one that makes money, the others don't. Why then is it such a shitty piece of shit?
