Zoho on Wii

With nothing much to do this weekend due to rain, I decided to play with my Wii. After enabling wireless access on Wii, I installed 'Internet Channel (Trail Version)' as another channel (This basically is a customized Opera Browser for Wii). What surprised me is that this is a fully functional web browser (unlike other mini versions). Why do I say this?

Well, you know that the Zoho applications are JavaScript/AJAX intensive. These Zoho apps (I tested Writer, Sheet & Show) worked perfect including dragging and dropping of charts in Sheet.

Zoho Notebook is another JavaScript intensive application. When I try Notebook in Opera on WinXP, I cant draw lines or move content around. But surprisingly, even drawing lines (and dragging objects) worked perfectly on Opera for Wii. Below are some screenshots.

Of course, I do not expect people using Zoho or other web apps on their TV/Wii or iPods...but as I said earlier, this is fun.
