Create Opera Unite applications
We are inviting talented developers to submit new Opera Unite applications. This week we will announce a new application every day and it's not too late for you to get started developing!
A graphic design student and part time unicorn caretaker wants to become an artist in New York on day. With her amazing skills we suspect it's not going to be too hard.
We're really excited about the response after the beta launch of Opera Unite, and our developer challenge is going great with new weekly submissions.
So, instead of announcing only one new application next week, we're going all out and announcing a new Opera Unite application every day, starting this Monday and ending Friday!
You can submit your application at any time during this period, for review. Contest rules from our developer challenge still apply, but we will be flexible on this area. We recommend everyone to submit applications, even if they are in alpha- or beta stage.
A few Ideas to help you get started
Tree house: Remote control of lights and heating of your backyard tree house!
Look what I found: A sandbox where you (and visitors) can drag'n'drop anything cool discovered online such as news articles, YouTube videos, game demos, etc.
This version for Windows Mobile users elevates mobile browsing to a desktop-like experience, helping people to search, socialize and stay connected while on-the-go.
The Opera Mobile 10 beta for Windows Mobile looks and feels similar to the Opera 10 desktop browser and Opera Mini 5 beta. Opera is creating more cohesion between its products by introducing a unified look across many of its platforms. Opera maintains its powerful arsenal of features in this beta, including Speed Dial, tabbed browsing, a password manager and its super, server-side compressor, Opera Turbo.

Document Sync allows you to automatically back up the content of a specified directory to a remote computer running Document Courier.
Synchronization can be set to occur automatically whenever you want and can also be performed manually at any time by simply clicking the "Sync" button. Simply specify the receiving Document Courier service URL and its respective password, as well as the folder name which will identify the folder within the Document Courier shared directory where the files will be stored.
We'd like to congratulate mjgrainge on becoming this week's winner! Thanks for creating Opera Unite application and keep up the great work!
Applications of our dreams
There are many applications we would love to see created! Here are a few ideas for future Opera Unite applications:
Tree house: Remote control of lights and heating of your backyard tree house!
Birthday: An application where visitors can leave a birthday greeting for friends!
Cooking Unite: A place to share recipes with comment functionality. Add support to embed photos + videos and I think we got a winner!
