Wii HyperCompuGlobalMeganet users! Opera have finished up their Internet Channel and have today released the full version. It'll be free for everyone until July 1, at which point you'll have to fork out 500 points for the privilege.

Opera have taken in most of the feedback relating to the old trial version, and as such the channel now supports manual zoom, D-Pad scrolling, automatic Google or Yahoo! searching, and the ability to hide the bottom toolbar.

There are multiple other changes you can notice, and it's well worth upgrading and/or downloading even if you don't use the channel that much. Get it for free while you can, you know? Just in case.
