Wiiminder: tabbed browsing courtesy of Warp Pipe
Warp Pipe Technologies, who you may remember as the only people ever to support the Gamecube modem, ever, have turned their attentions to a Nintendo console with an actual online strategy. Now they're helping to augment the existing Wii online experience with tabbed browsing. By making the Wii Opera browser work more like the real Opera browser, they've added tabbed browsing (with nice smoke-grey transparent tabs). Just navigate your browser over to here and your browser will be ready to party like it's 2001.
We are so much happier about web-based Wii browser extensions (which are already great!) when they are accompanied by such lovely logos. It's the typography that does it. It's so handsome.
... what were we saying? Oh yeah. There's a video demonstrating the service after the post break.

Very nice. I'm going to try it immediately. I'm wondering though, does our surfing go through their servers first? Do they keep track what sites we visit? If I'm viewing my bank account statement I don't want "big brother" looking over my shoulder.

OMG, they have Urban Champion. Are you serious? lol
Anyway, this is pretty sweet. This will be useful to get some more functionality out of the Wii while my wife is using the computer...

Wow! This is great! I know the browser is still a "Trial Version" but Wiiminder seems to have fixed most, if not all, of my wants for a Wiibrowser.
