Wii browser capabilities: Specifically: chat/JS/Flash/local storage

Question

I've been asked about the specific capabilities of the Nintendo Wii.

• Does it have a web browser? If so, is it suitably enabled with JavaScript/Flash, etc.? I'm thinking could it support a chatroom-type scenario?
• Is it possible for the web browser to save web content onto some form of local storage? I'm thinking chat logs, web pages and/or images/videos.

I don't personally have a Wii and don't know anyone that has who can give me a definitive answer. Hopefully one of you guys will have tried pushing a Wii browser further than most!

Answer

The default Wii browser is called the Internet Channel. It has limited support for JS and Flash, but I believe it provides some form of local storage.
