Opera launching new product at the Rock Opera launch party in San Francisco

Get ready for the Rock Opera party!
On October 25, Opera will be having a big party to unveil something new and exciting. The unveiling will take place at the ‘Rock Opera’ launch party in San Francisco, California.
Helping Opera with the unveiling of this new product will be two of the hottest indie bands in the United States: The 88 (my.opera.com/the88) and The Binges (my.opera.com/TheBinges).
Tickets for the Rock Opera launch party are by invite only. Fortunately, there are various ways in which you can get on the guest list.
On the My Opera community site we’re holding a special contest to send one lucky My Opera member from anywhere in the US to the party (travel and lodging paid for by Opera, of course).
For those of you living in the San Francisco/Silicon Valley area, we’ve got more free tickets for you. Since this is a launch party designed to rock Opera products, you will need to know a little about Opera or Opera Mini to get on the guest list. To show that you know about Opera, you need to take this Opera quiz for the chance to be placed on the guest list for our open-bar event starring The 88, The Binges and Opera in San Francisco.
The Rock Opera party will be streamed around the world live on my.opera.com. Be sure to check it out, if you can’t make it.
Note: This is an open-bar event, so we will only be admitting guests who are 21 and over. All attendees must be ready to rock with The 88, The Binges, and Opera. Be warned: Jon von Tetzchner stands an imposing 6′4”, so watch out if you meet him in the mosh pit.

Oh yay! What might this new product be! Excited!!!

I have no idea. My only guesses are: Opera VoIP, IM, HD indexing or some sort of DVD Recorder.

At the end of the quiz, there is :
“What to bring:
Your ID and your cell phone (and as many of your friends’ and family’s cell phones as you can carry)”
I think the answer is easy…
using
Metric units please!

Will it be the Opera Mobile 9 beta? Opera’s next revolution on the mobile browsing scene?
using
Damn, I’ll be arriving in San Francisco the 30th.
using
I hope it is opera9 with a integrated operatingsystem…
using
I’ll put down 2 quid on Mini 4

JvT is taking Opera down to Zero ; )
aka. OperaSystem

I’m putting my money on Opera Hero, playable in any version of the Opera browser capable of voice support. Sing in different keys, pitches and notes as they scroll towards you.
Also, Opera Mini 4 Final is likely going to launched… perhaps with voice support for Opera Hero!
using
I hope it’s opera mobile 9 love to be there
using
“… unveil something new and exciting…”
Old familiar OM 4 might be ready for a final release… A technical preview of Opera Mobile 9 is hardly a reason for celebration… Hmm… what else can excite ?
using
I hope it is opera9 with a integrated operatingsystem…
using
Daniel, are you going to be there?
using
Ice, I plan on flying out to San Francisco next week.
using
oh please, what will it be ?
i will be out of life starting of 24 octobre, so i couldn’t no until i come back (may be after 2 months, may be longer)
but i expect opera mobile 9 release which is long waited
using
It’s going to be Opera 9.5 beta.
using
(for desktop)
using
…and more.
using
I’d bet on OM 4 final release. Too many suggestions to ‘bring your mobile phone’ flying around…
using
I’ll be there! Can’t wait to meet you, Daniel, along with whoever else makes the trip.
using
How did this event go? Couldn’t make it myself…
using
Steve, take a look at the photos.
