Hi, I work over in A&Mi and I'm a big fan of the Wii and other entertainment platforms. I am currently working on a Wii template for BBC content and hope to later develop for the DS, PSP and PS3. It appears as if Flash is the way to go with Opera for Devices in mind. It would be great to look into developing a specific channel for BBC content, however I am unsure if they've opened it up... yet. There is a Wii developer kit on the cards... I am unsure of a confirmed release date. Having the ability to watch full screen flash video content on your TV through the Wii is a very attractive prospect, as well as developing games that support our current output (e.g. TV & Radio) - ultising the 'wiimote' (or Wii Remote) in flash game form would be fantastic. Here are some useful links I have found in my research (the design guide looks very useful): Some Information on the Wii's Internet Channel http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Channel <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Channel>

FWIW Flash works in Opera on the wii, http://www.opera.com/products/devices/nintendo/ Dan Proof of this is being able to watch YouTube on a 50 inch TV... Yes, I have done it, and for some random reason, YouTube videos load faster on my Wii than my PC. And there are already a bunch of "Wii friendly" sites out there, from WiiCade for games to Finetune's wii portal for free music from your Wii. A "bbc.co.uk/wii" would be great, but probably goes against the charter unless you name it "bbc.co.uk/consoles" or something ;-). Vijay.
