"Opera CEO on iPhone, OLPC and the Mobile Future"

http://blog.wired.com/monkeybites/2007/01/opera_ceo_on_ip.html

Every time I've read an interview of Jon von Tetzchner, or heard him speak, I've been impressed (and I'm not just saying that because he's the CEO of the company I work for). That's one reason I've been an Opera fan all these years.

When it comes to tech CEOs, I like watching Steve Jobs talk, as well. They have completely different styles, but I enjoy them both. Today's interview with Jon von Tetzchner does not disappoint, though it would have been satisfying to hear him comment on Steve Jobs's eyebrow-raising remark about the iPhone having the world's first usable cell phone browser. (I'll talk more about that later).

During the interview, Jon said "Opera is delivering on devices that are running less than 100MHz at this time." I imagine he's talking about the Nintendo DS, which has a 67Mhz main processor, but maybe there are others.

It's also nice to hear about Opera on the OLPC laptop, as well. Here's some recent news on that project from Claudio Santambrogio, one of my colleagues: http://my.opera.com/csant/blog/2007/01/10/more-on-the-olpc

    On December 27th, Wired posted an article by Patton Oswalt entitled: Wake Up, Geek Culture. Time to Die.
