Finalists to win a Nintendo Wii and DS Lite!

, , , ,

The first part of our contest to win a Wii has now come to an end! We're extremely impressed with all the creative widgets submitted. It's now time to step it up a notch as we're closing in on a new proud owner of a Nintendo Wii :yes:

We were forced to make some adjustments according to the original deadlines. Therefore the timeline has been changed to:

January 18th: Polls open for the whole community from this post.

January 25th: Polls close at midnight your time on January 26th.

January 26th: The winners of a Nintendo Wii and DS Lite are revealed.

Since there were so many good submissions we couldn't narrow it down to a list of only five finalists. The jury thought long and hard, but failed to agree ... We have a total of six finalists :up: We now leave it up to the community to decide the winners!

As of today (January 16th) we invite the community to review the widgets. You can contribute by writing a blog post, commenting on all of the finalists, and then link your review as a comment in this post. We strongly advise everyone to take part in this, as the voting for the best widget will be done by the My Opera community.

A quick review of all the widgets- I'm spending more time with each of them and consider this to be a "first impressions" review, but I picked my two top dogs:

Eddie,

Thanks for reviewing my widget. I am not sure what you mean it stopped downloading for you. It could have been that the server was down for an upgrade. I am in the process of moving the server side files to a larger server in the coming weeks. Please let me know if you found the other buttons working for you. I will add a hover over the scrolling song title. I hope to add a complete player to the widget if I can figure out active x is possible in the widget. Thanks again.

ActiveX is IE only.

That is what I figured out as I read more about how bad active x can be. I wouldnt want it in Opera. I just want to embed a aac+ player down the road. I figured out an mp3 player, but have to wait on my server to be set up to stream 128k mp3. Thanks zomg for the comment. I read more after I posted and found out from other Opera forums why Opera doesnt want it.
Have a great day.

I did the review from a different computer than the one I installed all the widgets on, at the time I was writing the review I couldn't get the widget to "install" ... I'm not sure if the Opera servers had a hickup or what. That's why I didn't get a screenshot of yours and I had to go off of some simple notes I took and memory.
