In addition to Opera being a Platinum Sponsor at the Mobile Internet World conference in Boston last week, we also had our CEO give a talk over there.

Opera’s CEO Jon von Tetzchner gave a talk entitled “How Carriers Drive Revenues from the Mobile Web Today” and was on the “Building Business Models for the Mobile Internet” panel.

    Opera Widgets can work on opera mobile 9 too, any news about ver. 9 from the conference? Opera mobile seems to be having a bit of a dry spell, atleast as far as news is concerned. Haven’t heard any news regarding that product from opera for a while.

    Wow, looks like yet another assembly of 7 sorry, 6 people. Must have been almost as rocking as the Rock Opera party.

    @EC

    In case you didn’t notice, the description is “on a panel”. When there is a “panel”, you normally gather a few people. You don’t just drop them in the middle of a crowd.

    But hey, don’t let facts get in the way of some good, old fashioned, senseless Opera-bashing!

    Well, not “bashing” – i love the software. But when it comes down to it, they just aren’t all that great at marketing. Besides this blog, and the community, there isn’t that much out there in person. 2 web sites aren’t gonna do it for you.

    About the “facts” – all i know is that if there would have been a large crowd, we probably would’ve seen some of them. Judging by the stage, lighting, panel, etc, it didn’t seem too “large”.

    Thanks

    EC: You are aware that this conference was not organized by Opera, and that JvT seems to be the only one from Opera on that panel?

    Never mind. Arguing with hardcore Firefox fans is futile.

    BTW, it must be great to be a psychic. You can tell how many people were at the various events without actually being there yourself. Someone should hire you and benefit from your clairvoyance :)

About Opera


Q: What is Opera?
A: Opera is one of the most powerful Web browsers around. A Web browser is the program that allows you to view Web pages. Opera is well known for innovation for PC browsers and bringing the full web to mobile phones and devices.

Q: Is Opera free?
A: Absolutely free.

Q: Why should I download a browser? Doesn't my computer already come with one for free?
A: It's about getting more out of the time you spend on the internet. Opera is designed to be much faster than these browsers and gives you powerful features that the default browser lacks. Default browsers like Internet Explorer are also more likely to be subjected to dangerous software such as viruses and spyware.

Q: Will Opera keep me safe from fraudulent websites and malicious hackers?
A: According to Secunia, a respected firm that tracks security in browsers, Opera has the best reputation and track record when it comes to browser security. Keeping our users safe from security vulnerabilities, fraudulent websites, and malicious hackers is a top priority for Opera. Opera is maintained by hundreds of engineers, developers and security experts who are constantly looking to make the browser even safer.

Q: Doesn't Opera copy all of their features from other browsers?
A: Absolutely not. In fact, many of the features that are popular in other browsers today were invented and pioneered by Opera a long time ago. Opera invented the precursor to tabs (in 1994), Page Zoom (1994), was the first browser to block pop-up ads (2000), first to add a Search field in the browser toolbar (2000), Sessions (1996), deleting private data (2000), Mouse Gestures (2000), User JavaScript (2005), BitTorrent support (2005), Widgets (2006), Speed Dial (2007), and much more.

Q: Does Opera support extensions, such as those found in Firefox?
A: Much of the functionality provided through Firefox extensions is already built directly into Opera, so you don't have to download additional extensions in Opera. In addition, Opera is highly customizable and supports all standard plug-ins.

Q: Can I also use Opera on my mobile phone?
A: Yes. And your Nintendo Wii, Nintendo DS or almost any connected device and mobile phones. Opera Mobile oftens comes preinstalled from the manufacturers, but if it doesn't you can install Opera Mini which runs on nearly all phones.

Q: This all sounds great, so how do I download Opera?
A: -- Opera on your computer
-- Opera Mini on your phone
-- Opera Mobile on your phone
