Man, I want this on my Wii!
Sounds cool. Point and click IPTV. Maybe even better than AppleTV. What’s it going to take to get Nintendo/Opera to update the flash player in the Internet Channel to Flash 9?

Yeah thats one thing that has kinda been disapointing about the Wii. The media intergration has sucked

According to Haavard (who should know since he works in the QA Services and Documentation department at Opera),

“Why didn’t we update the Flash plugin to a more recent version?
The answer is simple: there is no way to do so. It is out of both Opera and Nintendo’s hands.
The latest version of the Flash SDK (Software Development Kit) offered by Adobe is version 7, so that’s what anyone who is not a Windows, Linux or Mac PC have to settle with. To support Flash on a phone or device, you have to license the Flash SDK from Adobe, and as long as they do not provide a more recent version, there is nothing you can do.”
