Barely scratching the surface

Opera today announced that the next version of Opera for devices (which is used for TVs, set-top boxes, portable media players or even game consoles) will have support for Web Widgets. Opera already added support for Widgets in the Beta version of Opera 9 for PCs, and enabling support for this on embedded devices means that you might very soon be able to use your favorite widgets on your next TV or media player.

This is very cool!

Widgets are small web pages that resides outside the user interface of the web browser and are typically front-ends to online web sites. Some of my current favorite Widgets includes a football world-cup widget and off course the Slashdot news reader.

I never expected to develop an application for a TV, but this might just change that
