Google have just opened their GTalk protocol to other Jabber and SIP services like Gizmo. If Opera could play nice with Google’s IM services, it’d have to be good for the internet.

Skype works for me. I probably wouldn’t switch, especially if Opera didn’t have full interoperability with Skype network.

As Opera considered itself as an internet suite. Five important components must be included.
1) calendar … a must
2) Download manager (modified from transfer manager, improved ui such as adding an auto disconnect thing)
3) ftp client … quite important
4) Html editor… no need to be too powerful, something like mozilla composer or nvu will do.
5)Connection manager

Yes it will bloat the existing software. Opera had better develop both the “professional version” and “personal version” of the software.

The personal version (with calendar,improved download manage) should remain free, and the professional version (actually the bloated version packed with ftp client,html editor and connection manager) can be charged us 29

Just dreaming…

Perhaps they implement Jabber with Jingle like Google did with GTalk. Perhaps even in cooperation with Google…

At least I remember using an ICQ-Client within Opera a loooong time ago
