This is a lot better than I expected it to be. I'm glad Nintendo is actually putting some effort into making a web browser that works.

Be wary, the suck is coming.

For a console OS yes some may even say its excessive but considering with that 1 gig of ram you can have a game running at the same time have multiple tabs on the internet browser as well as youtube up something previous only possible for PCs (I think)

Sometimes I get bored of this cushioned white room.
I don't know why those doctors put me in here.

I was once known here as KillerMario, but since I really like Banjo-Kazooie, I changed my display name to show them my respect :)

Yeah. I can pause a game, and probably browse teh interwebs while I'm in the bathroom, strategically planning the downfall of my peers who dare not use the gamepad to it full advantage.

Oh this is great!! HTML5 support is a nice quirk. I'm happy this isn't something they slabbed on sloppily.I'm hoping this isn't as stiff feeling as the 3DS one though.

Wii U supports HTML5 video with the H.264 codec, so yes you can watch youtube but slight catch, any videos that have adds on them, you can't watch in HTML5.

The Web browser is webkit based, so it's the same underlying rendering technology as Chrome/Chromium and Safari.

For teh pron, you need to have a site that does HTML5 video :P

For now...flash will be near obsolete in a few years. Everything is going HTML5 and its a good move on Nintendo's half.
