Wii owners can look forward to some slightly-more-adequate web
browsing real soon now if this rumored upgrade to Opera is on the
money.
Version 2.0 - as revealed to GameReactor - will feature a new button
layout for the virtual navigation bar and will be Wii Speak
compatible. Users will be able to use a built-in mail client to access
their Wii Mail. Tabbed browsing will be supported by a floating 'tab
cube' that will show thumbnails of up to 6 open tabs.
The browser should be available for 500 Wii Points, but existing
owners should be able to get a free upgrade once the app is released
in December.

Even though it was released in the U.S. back in May of this
year, Nintendo's Wii Fit looks like it will be especially
hard to come by this holiday season. Forbes reports that
while Nintendo has finally ramped up production of the Wii
console to meet demand, the Wii Fit--a $90 packaged bundle
including a bathroom-scale-sized balance board and a game
disc--won't be as easy to find.
Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime tells
Forbes, "With Wii hardware, I think we've got a good shot
at meeting demand during the holidays...With Wii Fit, I
know we'll fall short. That's a product we have consumers
lining up for each morning outside of our Nintendo World
store."
We checked on eBay http://atu.ca/WiiFit and found plenty of
Wii Fit packages for sale, mostly between $125-150, so the
game is available, albeit at a premium price. Will shoppers
still scoop up the $250 Wii console if they can't also get
their hands on Wii Fit?
