Browsing the Web... on a Sony digital photo frame

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 :wink:

PlayStation 3 and PSP need a better browser, part 2

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 :smile:

It's Mario Kart! Maaaaaaaaaaaaaario KART!

This has got nothing to do with Opera, but when I saw Infendo's E3 Caption Contest I thought I would do the obvious before the rush of probably near-identical submissions for the picture included in the announcement :smile:



At gaming expo E3 this year, Nintendo's Reggie announced Mario Kart Wii to a few cheers from the audience. But when he pulled out this little steering wheel... well, those of you who saw Sony's show at E3 last year will probably get this without any further explanation :smile:
