So will this be like opera to opera chat or opera- to- landline? And for landline will there be any charges? like skypeout?

Well it says in the press release that it’s being added as a widget, so i don’t think it’ll delay opera 9 release at all.

VoIP in a web browser? Is this a late April Fools joke?

If I understand the technology correctlly, it doesn’t seem like it would take very much to integrate it. It seems all Jajah needs is 2 phone #’s then it calls both loacaly and connects them. Opera just needs field to enter the info. They could do the whole thing via a widget.

Or am I missing something?

Sounds like Opera’s going to need huge PR when they release O9. Otherwise, I’d think it’d just make more sense to have users look forward to an O9.5 and save VoIP for the future. Then again, if they manage to weave VoIP into O9 final without delaying it’s schedule, I’m fine with that.

So, who says that the VoIP thing hasn’t already been arranged?

This thing was reported on the Oslo Stock Exchange. Leaking info about it before the annoucement would be really bad for the company.

You are assuming too much, Jeff.

Jeff, actually Opera is preparing for a beta release of Opera 9 right now.

Says “my expectations” that’s all. I thought Preview #2 meant we were within a couple months of a beta on Opera 9. But if this VoIP thing is going to ship with the browser, that means a conservative 6 months before we see a feature-complete beta, which is one year after the first preview came out.

It’s just a long wait, that’s all…

“So this pushes out the release of Opera 9 even further?”

OK, Opera didn’t want to buy Google, and Google doesn’t make gtalk2voip.

Hope my news is still worth something

Might be a coincidence, but the company that Opera wanted to buy has also recently added VoIP support: http://www.gtalk2voip.com/

So this pushes out the release of Opera 9 even further? I think they should stop adding new features and just work on getting everything currently in the weekly builds of O9 stable and ship it.
