Last week we participated in the Web 2.0 Expo in Tokyo, Japan. In addition to Opera being one of the event’s Gold Sponsors, we also had a booth at the expo, where we showed off and demoed the Opera browser.
Our CTO, Hakon Wium Lie, gave a talk about CSS, HTML <video> element, canvas, SVG, and Web fonts (we hope to have a video of his talk up shortly). Opera’s Keiki Ichikawa also spoke at the event.
Here are a few photos of Opera at the expo; more photos were posted over at the Japanese Choose Opera blog.

Where is EC with his usual comments?

This is actually a nice showing, very impressive. I am sorry for sounding negative in the past, and I hope Opera turns out to be the next biggest thing, on all devices – the mobile, the desktop, and even the laptop.
Sorry

Daniel, how long will opera support the OLPC? I consider buying one/two with the give one get one program http://www.laptopgiving.org/en/give-one-get-one.php (not completely altruistic: T-Mobile offers free hotspot access for it for one year, which, given the starbucks density in NYC, is pretty cool).
I hope opera wasn’t ported to the OLPC just to be able to showcase it at conferences…

WildEnte, Opera on the OLPC is really just a stripped-down version of the Linux Opera browser. We didn’t really have to do much to get Opera working there. And no, it’s not just for showcase. We would like to get deals with goverenments ordering these laptops to pre-install Opera on their computers.
using
and now that private users like myself can get access to the OLPC, what’s the stand on opera for WildEnte’s OLPC?
Also, does Opera for OLPC include Opera Mail?
using
I’m not sure how you could get the OLPC version of Opera. I’ll have to look into it.
using
dumdidum. take your time
say, if these laptops do not ship with opera preinstalled, don’t you want to give those poor kids a chance to use a proper browser/mail client by just downloading it anyway? there’s not much money in that but it sure is altruistic.

it’s been a week, time to annoy you again about this.
