Wii Transfer

If there are other Nintendo Wii and Mac users out there (and I know of at least one), this is a handy little app you may want to check out. Wii Transfer allows you to share your music and photos between your Mac and your Wii - basically giving you a little bit of the AppleTV functionality on your non-Apple appliance. The way it does it is by setting up a small web server on whatever Mac you are running it on, and streaming music or photos to the Wii thru its Internet Channel (which, by the way, you'll want to pick up right now before Nintendo/Opera take it out of Beta and make it non-free). You can bookmark the Wii Transfer URL, and go back there at any time Wii Transfer is running. The free version will only play individual songs, and puts a big DEMO in the middle of your slideshows. The full version costs $14. But for many of us, free might be all we need.
