WiiOS Theme is finished!

Yes I've finally finished the WiiOS iGoogle theme. However, due to sumbition issues, the them is currently not up and running. I'm also now going to start work again on finding Wii Compadable Gadgets. If I find enough and the theme problems are solved, beta 0.2 will be launched. Currently there are um.. no users at all, but hopefully people will start checking this out. Screenshots should be uploaded tomorrow to give you all a better idea of what this is. I've installed Google Analitics on here so I'll know what's being done. If you find this site, please tell your friends about it as it is not for profit, no ads, and can only be spread at this time via word of mouth.

Public beta 0.1.1 is here. Ok so you`re thinking "No news on public beta release date, hm? Then what is this!?"

Well, we`ve made enough progress to consider it. Gmail, WiiNote, Google Calander, and YouTube Player... Not much but it`s growing. To request an invite leave a comment to this post with your email and we`ll send it to you.

WiiNote is back!

That`s right, we`ve found a Wii compadable note gadget made by Google. Now easy and relible service can be expected.
Open beta news: beta 0.1 will not be an open beta. The first open beta will be 0.1.1
We are now looking for a music playback gadget that works with Wii. Also, work has started on the WiiOS iGoogle theme after much planning! No date for the next beta release yet...

Open BETA delayed...

The public beta 0.1 has been delayed as the gadget that was to be used for notes has been found incompadable with the Wii Browser. We are looking for an alternative one.

Welcome to WiiOS!

Welcome to WiiOS Beta 0.1! WiiOS is still be worked on and is being designed to be fully Wii compadable. WiiOS uses iGoogle and Google Gadgets. This version incudes email via GMail, and a calander via Google Calandar.

---------------
Like all things, WiiOS requires some setup. The time it takes depends on who your are.

1) WiiOS is designed for the Wii's Opera Browser from the Wii Shop channel. While a Wii is not required, it defeats the purpose of WiiOS is you don't have one, DUH!
2) WiiOS requires you to have a Google Account, preferably one that comes with Gmail access.
3) If you don't have a Google Account, sign up for one via Gmail at mail.google.com or gmail.com
4) Once you have a Google Account, request the iGoogle tab to be sent to you by posting a comment here and leaving your email address. We will not sell you email address to anyone and is used solely for send the iGoogle tab to your emial so you can add it to your iGoogle home page.
5) WiiOS currently is in beta and therefore has a limited set of features. Since I'm currently the only one working on this project, updates will be slow and will take time. Also as there are only a limited ammount of features, this is currently a closed beta however, you can request the tab and an invite to be sent to you.
