Well today Japan got heaps of things for their Wiis with their latest update but in the US, and probably other parts of the world and probably here Australia, a new update has been put online but it is not yet known what exactly it does.

Could be Nintendo trying to do something about the HBC or make the freeloader work again

edit*

One of the updates that may have occurred is that the photo channel now has 1.1-a, which Japanese Wiis also got for this www.mywii.com.au/

it could be the patch to get rid of the hole that "bushing" found in regards to a softmod. he contacted nintendo about it and they said they would get straight onto. maybe this is it.

Do you reckon they could fix the problem in a matter of days?
I was thinking at least a week or a month.

i really don't know. all depends on how quick they are. he only did tell them about 5 or 6 days ago and code takes a long time to go through QC.

This is what the update does:

July 22, 2008

Photo Channel 1.1-a
An update was made available for the Wii console which provides behind-the-scenes support for a new service that has been released only in Japan.


So it seems that we might end up getting that New Photo Channel After All

I still haven't updated since they patched the Zelda exploit. This doesnt seem a very exciting reason to update either.

More pointless updates to me. Sure, it says it's only for the Photo Channel, but I wouldn't be surprised if they've tried to sneak some HBC blocker or whatnot into it.

The update supports this new channel found in Japanese Wiis

www.mywii.com.au/

but I don't know why they would give it to us since I doubt we would get this channel so there ain't a reason to support it

Well iPhoto installs album print support regardless of whether you live in a region with a print partner or not, there's no point in removing that stuff when you know you've got a stable build
