Downloaded this this morning before leaving for work. the usb keyboard support is a good addition, but bluetooth keyboard support would be better. My couch is about 10 feet away from the Wii and the TV. If I'm going to type, it's got to be wireless. I always kind of thought that Nintendo would release a keyboard or 360ish chatpad type device that would attach to the wiimote expansion port, kind of like the classic controller.

And is it just me or does your heart skip a little beat from the excitement of seeing that lovely blue glow when you get up in the morning?

I love seeing that blue glow.

I have seen reports that wireless USB keyboards work.

I wonder if freeloader is still broken (ko'd with 3.0).
Without it, the kids can't play GBA games on the Advance Port.
