Opera Desktop Team

We want Unite applications, you want stuff (right?)

mobile phone, prizes, competition, unite, wii

This is a teaser for a Unite Apps competition we have recently started.
Prizes will be awarded each week to the developer with the best application. The winner will be determined by a team of Opera employees. Up for grabs are gift certificates to online retailers equal the value of a Nintendo Wii or a brand new mobile phone!

If you want to enter the competition, you don't need to do anything special, just submit the application to unite.opera.com. Read more about it here.

Only if you develop an Unite App...

You still don't support some Java features...

and one more suggestion if Tab is locked it's only locked that can't be closed but still can open new content inside that TAB can you froze the http:// line.

... esp. one that fixes the qt4 issues!

Filip007: Please do not use this blog to post requests. If you are having problems, be specific and to the point.

In my RSS feeds, this entry had the following broken link:

note the "cn"

I had the same thing.

"We are sorry, but this page is not available for all countries."

netwolf # 3. November 2009, 12:37

Apparently the .cn is too much, removing it leads to here.

I wonder why I got the notification only today, not already yesterday.

I don't use forums to post features but anyway...

Try click on image for bigger size...

This don't work and i set pop-up to Open all but still don't work.
javascript:popImage('/img/izdelki/Periferija-in-dodatki/Ohisja/Ohisja-za-racunalnike/pro914b-l.jpg','')

I was using Opera running all day with Mobster World and some other sites closing and opening and RAM was going up and up end up with 1.1GB

Don't expect your features to be implemented then.

Also the problem you are reporting has nothing to do with Java. And have you tried to validate the source of that page. I don't know if it is related to some extend, but 89 errors in one page are quite a rate I'd say.

Looking deeper into your problem I found this:

if (isNN){imgWin=window.open('about:blank','',optNN);}
if (isIE){imgWin=window.open('about:blank','',optIE);}

Try identifying as Internet explorer

I just thought of an incentive rather than a phone or a Nintendo Wii.

A preview desktop build of Presto 2.4 is the incentive idea. Most adults do not care for a Wii and maybe they already have a good phone. I know they don't have 2.4. (If it includes Carakan and Vega is up to you developers.)

I'd even be willing to write an unite app (javascript induces nausea for me, esp the weak typing) if I could win that

You don't get a Wii, you get gift certificates of equivalent value.

You Russian people deserve the You-Just-Made-My-Intarwebs-At-Least-Five-Times-Faster badge.

Now now, maybe you shouldn't try to speak on behalf of other people

The Wii is successful because it has reached new audiences, including adults who have never touched a video game console.

DanielHendrycks # 9. November 2009, 21:45

I was just trying to be convincing

twdarkflame # 11. November 2009, 00:25

Wonder if I have time to do something here.
Perhaps a self-hosting form of my review website, or (if I wanted to make the internet explode), do a mini version of a Google Wave server
