Opera Community: Opera Mobile 10 beta
Guess what? Nokia owners just got a load of win delivered today with the release of Opera Mobile 10 beta. Opera Mobile's facelift hits harder than office linebacker Terry Tate - Yes, the beta actually merges the best from your favorite desktop experience into a traditional sleek minimal Mobile interface!

Read more and get to know all the techy details on our mobile pages. If you don't care about that, simply download for your Nokia, Samsung or Sony Ericsson S60 device. :cool:


Edit: Are you curious or confused about the differences between Opera Mini 5 and Opera Mobile 10? This might help you:

Opera Mobile is a complete web browser installed on your mobile phone—all the code rendering and JavaScript interaction happens on your mobile. This is in contrast to Opera Mini, where the rendering happens on the server and a compressed version is then sent to the handset.



So it's the same look, but it starts faster and works with multimedia content Opera Mini wouldn't be able to handle.

why opera? sohalt!

Most of you know, that I'm a huge fan of Opera since I came across it in 2001. Anyone else seem to have missed my bunch of blog posts about Opera, myself being MyOpera "Member of the Week" :star:, being part of the MyOpera community page or visiting the Opera headquarter :wink: or just has never tried to talk with me about computer :D But hey, no problem, just go ahead reading or contact me! :headbang:

With the release of the latest Opera 10 desktop browser there came up a lot of discussion about "Why should I use Opera? I already have IE/FF/Safari/...".
Well, there is no perfect answer to this question, but there are a lot of reasons why I really use Opera 10 even if it is - like everything else - not up to 100% perfect. But it is damn close!

opera 10 out now!

Finally Opera released their next generation browser Opera 10. I'm using Opera 10 since I don't know when in 2008. So more than a year, since the first snapshot came out. And I just have to tell you that it is really great. So Just click the link and grab it to test it! If you shouldn't like it, no problem, use it as a secondary browser or uninstall it. But I don't think this will happen :smile:

Download Opera 10 here!

Google Search Suggestions Box in Opera Panel

Micah Ray Aills:
Google Search Suggestions Box in Opera Panel

I really hope that Opera adds a search suggestions feature soon. I don't use it all the time, but it is definitely a useful feature. I searched Google and could not find anything on how to get the code to add a Google search box with Suggestions to a Widget, Panel, or anything. Read more...

After collecting questions presented by Opera-users and fans, it's been to Jon to answer those now. Really interesting for me (as I sent in a question which got picked to be answered) and I guess many others too :wink:

Opera history, what would you change?

If you get the chance to change anything in the Opera history, what would you change?

This is a tough one. Sometimes you do not have a choice. Personally I would have liked to provide Opera for free even earlier. We couldn't. However, we are seeing very significant growth in Opera users on desktop now, with 67% last year and 55% in 2007. We have also learned our lesson, which is why Opera Mini is provided for free. Enjoy!



See ChooseOpera for mine and more Q&A!

Edit: See the summary for all questions arranged neatly!

questions for jon

, , ,

At the moment Opera is collecting questions which Jon Stephenson von Tetzchner is going to answer personally. Questions can be submitted via the forums. My Opera users are asked for voting for the most interesting/popular ones the day after.
So go on and submit your question or vote for already submitted ones: Get up close and personal with Jon.

My question is on voting till 24th around noon. At the moment it's in leading position. So the chances are good that I (and we) will get an answer :wink:

But if you got a minute take the time to vote for it and/or the other questions for day 3 here!

And if you're asking yourself which curious question came into my mind, here it is: If you get the chance to change anything in the Opera history, what would you change?

face the future with opera face gestures

,

Eight years ago, Mouse Gestures was introduced as a way to speed up your interaction with the browser, and focus on what's important: Content. In 2005, Voice Navigation was introduced, and more recently we've worked with Nintendo to create a browser that takes full advantage of the "Wiimote" and later, the touchscreen in the DSi.

Looking ahead, we recognize the future importance of touch interfaces, but we believe that there is another input device that is already present in most new computers and it's ready to enable a whole new way of user-interaction: The Webcam.

Today we introduce Face Gestures, a revolutionary technology designed to make interacting with Opera easier on computers with cameras. Face Gestures lets you perform frequent browsing operations with natural and easy to make face gestures. By using an internal technology dubbed Face Observation Opera Language, we are able to recognize pre-determined facial expressions and match them to commands on the Opera browser.
