opera_10_mobile_digital_per

As we all know, Opera is the master of mobile internet browsing. I have installed Opera Mobile 10 which is a symbian version and worked flawlessly on Nokia 5800. The entire layout and user interface which appears on Nokia 5800 gives a feel as if you are not browsing on a handset.

This version of Opera is much more stable than previous versions. The kind of functionalities that have been included is really useful and power packed. Features like to copy text on your webpage, webpage save option, password save option, Download files with Opera 10 are just fantastic.

You can set your own preferences like, page magnification value, full screen option, Opera Turbo option and a whole bunch of other settings. I browsed through our entire blog, other websites on Opera 10 and it did not even crash once. The load time for pages was as usual very fast and optimized to eat up as less data as possible.

Its time to say bye bye to the nasty phone browser. I recommand installing Opera 10 on your mobile phones.

A first-class mobile Web experience

Opera provides a brand-new look and feel in a class of its own with smooth animations and visually appealing graphics. The Opera rendering engine displays complete Web pages, just like on your computer, and is fully standards-compliant.

Switching between open Web pages is a snap with tabs, and Speed Dial launches your favorite Web sites with a single click.

Opera’s well-designed user interface has you navigating gracefully and efficiently on both touchscreen and keypad devices. The browser comfortably adjusts to your needs by switching between portrait and landscape mode and also lets you adjust the font size for easier reading.

The Web has never been so fast on your phone. Opera’s streamlined rendering engine and server-side compression allows Opera to load Web pages much more quickly than other mobile phone browsers. Features, such as the address bar, shortcut keys and touchscreen control, save you time and effort when performing

basic tasks, such as entering addresses or scrolling rapidly through pages.

User experience

Multitask with tabs

Keep several pages open at the same time and easily switch between them using tabs – just as you would on your desktop computer. On touchscreen devices, visual tabs even allow you to see a preview of the open pages you can select.

Feel at ease on any device

The user interface has been designed for both touchscreen and keypad-style mobile phones. Scroll and pan at warp speed with your keypad or flick the touchscreen to use kinetic scrolling for long pages.

Instant access to your favorite Web sites

See your top Web sites visually laid out on your screen in Speed Dial and load each of them with a quick tap. It is easy to add your preferred pages to Speed Dial, and you even can synchronize them with your desktop, using Opera Link.

Enter addresses with far less typing

Effortlessly enter addresses thanks to our sophisticated URL auto-completion. Opera intelligently guesses what URL you are typing in the address field, allowing you to start loading that site after entering only a few letters. Your bookmarks and previously visited addresses also appear in a list as you type,

so you can select the one you want.

Read the largest pages comfortably

Even pages designed for large screens are easy to read on your mobile phone, with text wrapping, which ensures that you can read most content without having to scroll sideways.

Your view where you need it

When moving around large, complex Web pages, Opera will stop just where it needs to, snapping the view to the column you want to read.

Type without losing focus

Entering text into your browser with a touchscreen phone just got easier. On phones where the default touchscreen keyboard provides a less-than-optimal user experience, you can use Opera’s virtual keyboard to type and edit information without ever leaving the page you are viewing.

Make the most of your screen

Take advantage of every pixel that your phone’s screen has to offer with Opera’s fullscreen mode. The address bar and toolbars disappear until they are needed, allowing you to see more of the page you are viewing.

Get a better view

Opera smartly fits Web pages to your screen when you visit a site, showing you an overview of the site. To get a close-up view and begin reading, a simple tap or button press is all that is required to zoom in exactly where you want to look.

Congratulations to Opera on the new release!

Popular Gadgets and Technologies of 2009 – 2010

A New iPhone

i_phone_pro
Whether it’s the iPhone 3GS or the rumored iPhone nano, it’s easy to imagine Apple releasing another new iPhone, maintaining their trend of releasing an iPhone per year to stay competitive in the everchanging post-RAZR cellphone market.

For the new iPhone there are a lot of speculation and on the Internet there have been a variety of pictures of new iPhone, this iPhone Pro by the exposure it looks more like a concept phones.

It’s no secret that most of Gizmodo loves the iPhone, so we’re pretty excited to see what’s next.

Just so Apple!


Apple Magic Mouse

This amazing Magic Mouse uses a laser track engine, making it one of the more sensitive and responsive mouse in the world. It works on more surfaces than the conventional optical tracking mouse. The optical mouse we have come to know and love which would need continuous movement to reactivate the detecter. Well those days are over as the Magic Mouse removes our mouse worries, and concerns instantly. This means that on almost every surface the mouse is able to track the movements and respond to the user’s needs. These surfaces range from the top of a table in starbucks to a desk in your home office. Since it utilizes a laser track engine there is also no need to purchase or even use a traditional mouse pad.

Just so Apple!


4G Networks

4G refers to the fourth generation of cellular wireless standards. It is a successor to 3G and 2G standards, with the aim to provide ultra-broadband (gigabit-speed) internet access to mobile as well as stationary users.

Intel-backed WiMax launched in a few locales by carriers Sprint and ClearWire. AT&T and Verizon (and eventually T-Mobile) are gearing up LTE technology. The Nokia-driven GSM-based “Long Term Evolution” may actually whomp WiMax with download speeds of over 300Mbps—though its presence probably won’t be felt in the US before 2010.


Windows 7

microsoft_windows_7
Microsoft can do better than Windows Vista. And with Windows 7—expected sometime before the year is up—they will. Whether it’s the new features or the less taxing system requirements, Windows 7 promises to be a vast improvement on Vista, and hopefully enough to coax most of us still clutching XP for dear life to finally upgrade.


Wireless HDMI

A multitude of companies have various wireless HDMI technologies, but there’s no set standard (two warring factions need to settle the fight before we can have interoperable products). The technology is there, now it’s just a matter of logistics and handshaking.

Wireless HDMI is a technology for serving wireless high definition video and audio in consumer electronics. This is a relatively new technology as you can tell by the low number of products available at this time. see this search for wireless HDMI.

However, Wireless HDMI is the perfect alternative to putting holes in your walls to run HDMI cables through. In fact, you can broadcast in full 1080p using most Wireless HDMI kits like the Brite-View BV-2500 seen above are designed to help make installs much easier when you can’t stick components in the same room.


USB 3.0 Devices

Wireless HDMI may not be quite cooked yet, but the eSATA-crushing USB 3.0 standard is ready to roll. Look for a multitude of products announced within the next week with blazing transfer speeds of 4.8Gbps (moving a 25GB file in under a minute). They’ll also benefit from USB 3.0’s higher electrical power output.


A Great Android Phone

great_android_phone
It will be called the Google Phone (update the official name is “Nexus One”) and will launch in early January, 2010. It won’t be sold by any one carrier, but instead will be an unlocked GSM phone. In the U.S., that means T-Mobile and possibly AT&T, whose exclusivity deal with the iPhone is about to run out. It will be running Android 2.1


PS3 Slim

sony_playstation3_slim
The new version is undoubtedly smaller, with a lower-profile casing when sitting flat that’s also shorter (but deeper) than the existing PS3. It both weighs less (7.05lb compared to 11lb) and uses less power (250W versus 280W), though it will require an optional $24 stand if you want to position it vertically. If you have a gamer in your life who doesn’t have a PS3 or needs to replace their old console, this is a great and fairly cheap option. Also watch out for game bundles that are offered with some system sales


Motorola Droid

motorola_droid
While we love the iPhone, the Droid really does do everything users could want from a device and it does it with the hottest new mobile operating system on the market (Google Android 2.0). We love the feel of the device, the thousands of apps now offered for Google Android and the fact that AT&T isn’t shoving it in our faces. If you’re a Verizon customer this is the only phone you should be considering. Price: $199 with a two-year contract


Nokia 5800

nokia_5800_xpress_music
Nokia have been the top seller of mobile phones for a long time now and want to revive the market with their Nokia 5800 / N97 touch screen phone – their effective iPhone killers (Nokia N97 N-series touch phone has already been announced and released last year).

From Q3 2007 to Q3 2008 they lost 15.4% of the market share, dropping to 35%, due mainly to the iPhone. With the release of the Apple iPhone it has caused a ripple in the market and mobile phone manufacturers have realised that they need to raise their game. Blackberry have out their Storm 9500 (bottom of top 10) which will be a hot gadget of 2009 (once it gets the firmware it needs to speed up navigation) and will be available before the end of the year.

Just follow Apple!
