Opera 8.60 out!

Finally Opera 8.60 is out!
The product have been quite improved IMHO.. of course I am not able to provide a complete detached report, but anyway...
What I really like of the new version is the new skin. Finally something that looks "different".
Also now it is possible to browse pages that have handheld stylesheet in the "desktop" mode as well!
I really like the idea to costumize my shortcuts... BTW my preferred ones are Page up/Page down that complete the new scrolling (smooth) approach!
The download is also improved
And what about the auto-completion... Not a new idea in the mobile world, but I was really missing it in Opera and now I can't leave without!
Personally I do not love bookmarks. I just prefer typing to find what I want and this is perfect for me!
Find in page helps me to highlight what I'm looking for in the page...
Desktop mode has been improved (anyway I still prefer and love Fit to screen mode since I do not like to scroll horizontally) and the big step ahead have been wrapping the text to the size of the screen.
And for the funs of Newsfeeds... Yes, finally you can read them... Well, you cannot subscribe yet... But it's a good step futher!
Also the number of languages available are increased (swidish, russian, polish, turkish...).
Then I can open more than one windows (so I can check my email while I am checking if my plane is on time on my way to the airport!).
I think a good step has been done since 8.51 and I hope others will share some of my thoughts....

Ciao,
posso sapere come si riesce ad essere assunti da Opera? Mi pare leggendo i loro annunci che cerchino super-geniacci con secoli di esperienza :-(

se vuoi fammi avere qualche informazione su di te.
Non ti preoccupare, non si cercano solo geniacci con super esperienza.
