Recently, I bought a Wii as a birthday present for my son. The reason why I perfer Wii over Xbox 360 or PS3 is that it is more interactive and probably that’s one of the reason why it is still the no.1 gaming console in the world. Go to vgchartz.com for more detail of the sale.

Here are my past 3 blog post on Wii:
Nintendo Wii Tops for Console Sales in June
Wii Fit Workout starring Cyber Girl Jo Garcia.
Wii Fit Hula Hoop Underwear Girl is YouTube Sensation.

You can also use Wii to surf internet. Wii browser is powered by Opera. News has been going around that a new Opera browser for Wii is set to be released in Dec 2008. It will have new buttons, a max of 6 tabs, and Wii Speak ability.

Wii should also improve on the screen resolution as it is now only 800px width by 600px width. Flash should also be upgrade now from current version 7.

As such, I decided create a Wii Portal and went ahead to get a domain. Wii All in One will start off with Wii Flash Games which will be updated daily.

If you have a Wii, try it and let me know.

Opera Mobile is regarded, by many mobile users, as the best mobile browser available on the current market. It may has its strong point but it’s not free. It cost USD$24.00 Useless you have too much money to spend, read on.

Opera Mini is free but it works on GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) which cost you money when transferring data over airtime. If you connect to internet through WiFi, you can forget about Opera Mini (correct me if I am not as I cannot get it to work on WiFi.)

Internet Explorer Mobile, by Microsoft Windows, is the default browser that comes with Windows Mobile Pocket PC and Smartphone. If the classic browser loading speed is slow, do not expect the mobile browser to be fast.

Mobile FireFox, codenamed Fennec, is expected to released in the later part of the year. 2 versions under developement, Touchscreen and non-touchscreen. Mozilla, FireFox creator, actually has a Minimo project but seems to stop developing it.

SkyFire is more for US users, so I have no chance to test it. If you are a US mobile users, sign up for the private beta invitation, try it and share with us what you think.

jB5 Mobile Browser is free and actually quite fast. Try it and share with us what you think. I will do another Mobile Test Post using jB5 Mobile Browser.

NetFront™ Browser v3.5 for Windows Mobile Concept Version is new and available for trial till 31st May 2008. After that, you might have to download again. I have no idea if it will be free when they actually released it later. Surprisingly, it’s a touchscreen mobile browser. The Bookmark is cool too.

Iris Browser, by Torch Mobile, is based on the WebKit rendering engine, the same KHTML-derived rendering engine in Safari used in iPhone. It’s free and you can update the browser from your mobile set. The touchscreen scrolling does not work as smooth as NetFront.

Deepfish, under development by Microsoft, is a lightweight client application that leverages a powerful server side technology for delivery of content such as web pages to a Windows Mobile device. Content is displayed in a familiar desktop format that requires no additional work by the content or site author.

My choice is Opera Mobile if it is free after the 30 days trial. Till Mobile FireFox and Microsoft deepfish are available, NetFront is good but you might have to download again after 31st May. jB5 and Iris are not bad but Minimo is out. If all fails, Internet Explorer Mobile by Microsoft Windows is always there.:)

So, which is your preferred mobile browser and why is it so?
