innovation, technology, mini, browser ...

Today we introduce Opera Fingertouch, a technology designed to make interacting with the Web easier and simpler on touch-based devices. Opera Fingertouch provides visual feedback when you hit a Web link, and assists you when you come across multiple links or other selectable elements in close proximity to one another.

To see Opera Fingertouch in action today, download the new beta version of Opera Mobile for Symbian UiQ, check out the video demo below, or read the labs article.

Imitation - the sincerest form of flattery?

internet, innovation, features, browser ...

Being the "little guy" clearly has its pros and cons. Opera does not write publicly about other browsers interpreting its innovations, but when competitors present themselves as the original creators of some browser features (omg!), well... You know, something's not right, ye?

Anyway, this has been the cause of controversy in blogs and forums lately, and we're not interested in starting a flame war or whine about it (because whining sucks), but it's good to see that you continue to support Opera rightfully for its creativity and passion for evolving the Web.
