Without going into computer vs consoles, any other thoughts on unique controllers and workarounds to easily view web pages on the HD with a game console?

I found a site last year when noise was inquiring about mobile friendly sites. I use as a hub of sorts and it works wonders on consoles and portable gaming systems.

I noticed that but it only happens when you see it on PC. For example cnet. reverts back to PC site even though for a quick second you see it attempt to go to the m.cnet.com site.

Ohh, and no problem. :lol:

It also happens in the the Wii. Some sites stay in Mobile mode, others load as a full web page. Strange that Wikipedia will automatically choose the easy to read Mobile Mode on the Wii.

Still, its a good link, THANKS! :mrgreen:

Just FYI, web browsing on the Dreamcast becomes infinitely more tolerable when you get a Broadband Adapter, as well as the keyboard and mouse controllers. 8)
