Wii 3.0 Update = keyboard support?!
Nintendo pulled a fast one on us with last night’s update, it would seem. According to GoNintendo, USB keyboards now have some compatibility with the Wii. There is not much information on this yet, but there are reports that certain keyboards will not work, and it does not work on the Internet Channel.
I personally have tested and confirmed that it works in the Message Board. It really makes those emails much easier to send! Although this is not much, it is a big step into communication in online gaming! Make it happen, Nintendo!
Note: It is also said to work in the Shop and News channels, although I did not test either.

-Forecast Channel now displays the current condition (cloudy, raining, etc.) directly in the Wii Menu in the Forecast Channel box
-News Channel can now show 2 scrolling headlines at a time in the Wii Menu, 3 when you click on the button
-Message Board now has the "Today's Accomplishments" message as a white message which allows it to stand out from other messages
-Address Book entries can now be shifted around using A+B (supposed to be a launch feature) but only to empty spaces.
-Calendar in Message Board no longer shows "Today's Accomplishment" only days as having messages.
Wii Shop Channel Overhauled
-New Welcome screen detailing 4 Recommended Titles and the points they cost (gone is the title screen bar that had linkable games)
-Titles You've Downloaded was moved to the main shop menu
-New ways to browse
-Popular Titles (2 pages of 10 and includes launch games so not only based on recent info)

-Search by Category

-Publisher showing different publishers and amount of titles released (Nice logos!)

Mod Chip Warning
After you update and go back to the update section to before a "test update" you will be greeted with a message that says something to effect that if you have a modified Wii your console may be disabled or lock up. Mod Chippers owned? If you want to cancel you have to power down your system.
