Widgets are out!

We have released Preview 2 of Opera containing widgets. I have been working on this from day -1 and I'm happy that it finally shipped. This is the second entry for Opera as a platform for making Web 2.0 based web applications (UserJS was the first). Opera is the best browser with regards to options for personalization and it's pretty easy to tweak the browser beyond recognition for regular users. Now it's possible to play with widgets as well.
Opera Widgets will enable web developers to make UI based interfaces for their favorite services and hopefully we will see some innovations happening to the browser outside the Opera community.
In general, Opera Widgets are related to Dashboard widgets, but much simpler and more secure. I hope that we will see widgets in the near future that run on both Dashboard and Opera without problems.
