opera, sony
The Japanese Choose Opera blog has a post showing
Jon browsing the Web on a Sony digital photo frame. There's even a
video. Browsing the Web isn't exactly the first thing that would come to mind when buying a digital photo frame, but it has a lot of potential, and shows the wide range of devices Opera is available on.
In the future, everything with a screen will be connected to the Internet and run Opera

downloads, opera, users
Today's press release on
downloads and number of users reveals that the number of downloads four days after release has increased from 1 million 2005 (Opera 8) to 4.7 million with the release of Opera 9.5. The number of actual desktop users users has actualy doubled since 9.0 in 2006, and is now more than 20 million each month.
We also have more than 12 million monthly users of Opera Mini.
This means that while it hasn't really been reflected in browser stats, Opera has only been gaining users since it became available free of charge.

opera, mozilla, fud
Mozilla Japan is apparently claiming that Firefox 3 is
two times faster than Opera 9.5. Does that mean that I can claim that Opera is an infinitely smaller download than Firefox and get away with it?

reviews, opera
Opera is on the
front page of download.com today:
The latest version of the Opera browser is here, and it's a stunner. Integrated theme previews, an improved address bar search tool, built-in torrent support, and real-time fraud prevention earned Opera 9.5 a coveted five-star review.
Read the
full review.

download blog for more.

web, opera, core
For those of you with an interest in Web technologies and what's going on with those here at Opera, check out the new
Core Concerns blog. "What is Core?" you may ask. Lars Erik
explains:
What we call "Core" at Opera refers to the platform-independent internal components of our browser.

sony, opera, psp, ps3
A year ago, I posted about how GameSpot
called out for a better Web browser on the PS3. Now CNET is
echoing the request, and even mentioning Opera:
A lot of folks would like to see Sony move to an Opera-based browser, which runs on Linux (and the Wii uses). Whether that's the right solution or not, Sony can do better in the Web-surfing department. Heck, if the iPhone can have good Web browser, why can't the PS3 and the PSP have good ones?
The PS3 is a very powerful system which seems to be gathering some momentum after a slow start, so it's too bad that it is let down by the browser. With the processing power and available memory, Opera should run like a dream on the system. (Note that Flash is still basically out of Opera or Sony's hands, as Adobe runs the show. But Flash Lite 3 would surely work well on the PS3.)
Sony has used Opera for other products in the past, and Opera is even the default browser on UIQ, a platform used by phones from Sony Ericsson. Get in touch with us, Sony, and I'm sure we can work something out. You need a better browser, and you know where to get it

touch, opera, diamond, htc
...
A couple of days ago, HTC revealed their new "iPhone killer", the
HTC Touch Diamond. The phone looks extremely promising, and I'm actually considering a purchase if they can manage to work out the kinks from the demo version (it seems slow at times). Better yet, the phone uses the new Opera Mobile 9.5 for a "better internet experience".

opera, mobile, browsers
According to a recent
report from ABI Research, the mobile browser market is set to really explode in the coming years, which is something Opera has known for years. But the report reveals an interesting detail on the number of Web-enabled phones (emphasis mine):
ABI Research sees this segment of the mobile browser market accounting for the vast majority of growth over the next five years, as the open-Internet browser (OIB) segment for mobile grows from 76 million in 2007 to nearly 700 million browsers delivered in 2013.
A Norwegian analyst
made the connection, and pointed out that Opera apparently has a market share of 54% in this segment. According to our fourth quarter presentation, Opera shipped on a total of 40.8 million handsets in 2007, and the analyst states that this does not include Opera Mini.
If these numbers are correct, then Opera is currently the dominant mobile browser,
by far. And with the incredible growth potential, it is hardly strange that
more and
more companies are jumping on the bandwagon.

opera, mobile, mobille
In a recent Q&A, Mozilla's John Lilly kindly shares som details on how
Mozilla will finally redefine mobile Web browsing.
Sound familiar?After their failed Minimo mobile browser project, they are now ready to rinse and repeat. But not without commenting on the competition, of course. Or the lack of it, if Mozilla is to be believed. Provided, of course, that the journalist has not taken liberties when "translating" Lilly's answers.

browsers, standards, acid3, opera
Anne posts in his blog that internal builds of Opera that are intended for some post-Kestrel release are already
at 98/100 of the Acid3 test. You won't have to take his word for it either, as we are apparently planning a public build to demonstrate this.
So yes, a lot of things are going on behind the scenes. While Kestrel might be the "latest and greatest" public version, we have people working on the future of Opera as well. And if you like the various improvements in Kestrel I think you'll be pleased by the version after Kestrel as well.
Update: Looks like it's actually 100/100 now!

microsoft, opera, antitrust
This is a
great day for open standards. Microsoft has changed its mind regarding the default mode in IE8.
And while this is a huge win for the internet community, it is also a vindication for an small browser company in Norway, which, at times, faced harsh criticism for
getting the authorities involved in order to enforce open Web standards.

Today, Opera's
financial results for the fourth quarter of 2007 were announced. For those of you who just want the bottom line, here it is: Opera financially healthy. It is profitable, with significant growth in all business areas, and continued (and even accelerated) growth is expected. The future is looking so bright the company might have to invest in shades for all of its employees.

opera, yahoo, google
Yahoo! has
responded to
Google becoming the default search in Opera Mobile and Opera Mini:
"Yahoo! has elected not to continue its mobile search partnership with Opera at this time.
That Yahoo! claims that it was they who chose to end the partnership is interesting in light of Google's comments about how their mobile search revenue is "
growing above expectations".
Still, it is nice to see that Yahoo! will keep supporting and working with Opera:
Consumers with Opera browsers will continue to have access to Yahoo! oneSearch, and as long-standing partners, Opera and Yahoo! will continue to work together.
Opera is definitely becoming a force to be reckoned with in the mobile market, and we are seeing a nice growth in our user base on the desktop as well.

Good news if you prefer Google to Yahoo. Opera Mini and Opera Mobile will use Google as the default search provider from now on.

antitrust, zeldman, opera, standards
...
In his blog, Jeffrey Zeldman
defends version targeting. As most people probably know by now, there is a proposal out there which involves IE8 basically requiring that you opt-in to its standards compliance. Needless to say, most people think this is
a really,
really bad idea. Apart from Zeldman's attempt at dismissing criticism as "ingrained dislike of Microsoft", something else really caught my eye.
