PWill writes: "The Wii Browser, made by Opera, was just released in the US, at roughly 0230 in the morning EST. Posting this story from it right now. I had to write the URL down, because you can't copy+paste. Quick notes: No tabs, of course, no copy+paste, no history, yes favorites, no address bar (You have to go to the start page to enter a URL) Here is a video of it in Japan. I can assure you that it is released in the US, as well, though."

The beautiful part is the item description, which is almost entirely dedicated to slamming the PS3 and touting the Wii. "In fact, we love the Wii so much, we want to give a Wii to everybody on our payroll. To fund this Wii-for-the-People program, we're selling this Sony PlayStation 3.""
