For the first version of the Wii News, it really rocks. I can think of a few small things I'd like to be able to do - like toggle on/off the map split screen and sort by locality, but it's still very usable.

I hope they enhance their photo viewer to be able to hit the net, including local shares and web sites like Flickr. I'm not so interested in using the web browser as a poor substitute for this. The image viewer can be made faster and easily supports rotation and enhancing effects like brightness (which I also wish you could make 'sticky' so it stays at the current setting as you continue to browse).
