Tumblr 101: Tips And Tricks To Get Started
Is Opera cooking up "the next big thing" in mobile browsers?
That's at least what they want us to think. On Opera's "Next" web page, you'll see the image above. Remind anyone of the teasers the company posted earlier this year for the Opera Unite alpha?
So far there are no clues in the HTML source as there were with Unite. If we're going by the puzzles pieces, the new project is only about 33% complete -- though it's entirely possible that's just what Opera decided to go with for a grabber image.
With Unite, it only took four days to go from the tease to the big news. We'll see what happens this Tuesday.
If you're an Opera Mobile or Mini user, what would you like to see in a new version? If you aren't, what could Opera do that would make you switch mobile browsers?
Update: Opera's Espen André Øverdahl has spilled the bean(s). It's Opera Mini 5, though that's all his post reveals. No actual substance as of yet.

the picture on the website kinda looks like a ZuneHD, there is NO way Apple would allow an opera app.

Sure, I bet on them too !
They actually managed to reinvent the web not long ago, so why not mobile browsing too now ?

Apparently it's counting down, there are more pieces revealed than in the picture above.

I think taking the unite thing into the mobile realm would be cool. I can see taking a picture on your phone, having it instantly sync to your pc at home and be immediately available to share though unite.
Also, the ability to stream your music and photos from your home computer to your mobile has obvious advantages.
Having these things rolled into one extensible platform is appealing compared to a separate app for every type of data.
The unite concept would have to work this way because it would use far too many resources on a phone (battery, cpu, data transfer). Either a home server or the cloud would have to hold assets, but the software could make it seem pretty seamless.
