Many of us already know that you will be able to browse the internet with the Wii U like you could with the Wii.  Now with the additional screen space available you can also connect to the internet on the GamePad.  You will be able to use the on board stylus to input text with an on screen keyboard and also tilt the GamePad to scroll up and down.  You can use the GamePad’s stylus to scroll up and down but the tilt tied into the scrolling not only looks intuitive but seems like a really neat feature.  When sharing a video on the larger TV screen you can continue browsing the internet on the GamePad while the video is still playing on the television.  Even if someone else is occupying the TV, you can still use the GamePad to browse the internet.  For the more technical side of things, the Wii U will not support flash, which is a bummer, but the Wii U will be supporting the new HTML5.  While not many sites currently utilize HTML5, there are quite a few sites that are flirting with the idea.  YouTube is currently running HTML5 trials of their site and other popular sites are bound to follow so Nintendo may have either been thinking ahead or asking around when they were creating the Wii U.
