Opera 10 RC out final out on September 1st Posted: 26 Aug 2009 01:02 PM PDT After the Betas, Opera released the Release Candidate of Opera 10 and also made a point that the final version would be out on September 1st.I have been playing with different browsers like Mozilla,Chrome and IE8.I used to be a Opera fan previously but as time changed i shifted to the newer ones.My mozilla keeps growing in memory consumption even though i am using the latest version.Well this gives me a oppurtunity to try out Opera RC too.Opera is believed to boost performance with Turbo mode for slow connections,support for a variety of Web standards and improvements to the Opera Mail feature. According to the Desktop Team this version should be considered a stable release and only selected fixes will be added if absolutely necessary. Here is what Opera’s vice president of desktop products had to say: “Now we are very close to releasing the best browser in Opera’s long history. We hope everyone who has helped us test our browser thus far will put the release candidate through its paces.” Features: Visual Tabs Tabs can be made bigger and the glossy look. Speed dial Speed dial can be customized with background changing for a number of sites. Opera Turbo Boosts Performance and gives kinda more speed on slow connections. Its got 100/100 and pixel-perfect on the Acid3 test too.Significantly improved performance,particularly on CSS/HTML rendering. Automatic updates Updates are automatic and no interference of user is required. Crash logging When you encounter a crash logs are created to debug. Inline spelling checker Spell checker for correcting your typos. New default theme with a new bigger icon. Comes with a new theme by default. According to TechCrunch, Opera claims the browsers will be 40% faster than Opera 9.6 (Presto rendering engine) which was the last major release. More updates will come soon.Post comments what you like about Opera.Love to hear. Download the new Opera release candidate here This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now

Microsoft introduces OneApp Posted: 26 Aug 2009 07:24 AM PDT In this geek era,Many of the mobile junkeys are into hi-fi modern cellphones,so that they can flaunt and use the respective apps like Facebook,twitter,yahoo messenger etc.But what about the rest of the users who are not able to use this on their phones.Microsoft OneApp,a new software application that will allow feature phones to run mobile apps like Facebook, Twitter, Windows Live Messenger, and other popular applications and games. OneApp complements Microsoft's existing mobile strategy by bringing mobile apps and services to feature phones in emerging markets. OneApp's software plus services design enables mobile apps to run on feature phones that have limited memory and processing capability. (What we call "feature phones" are devices –very often found in emerging markets — that can connect to basic data services and install applications.) Customers will experience OneApp on their phone as a single application where they can easily access all of their mobile apps. OneApp runs on most of the feature phones which support Java.The application is just 150Kb.OneApp uses data networks very efficiently to help lower data access charges, which can really create substantial savings for the customer.OneApp includes cloud services that can help shift processing and storage weight from the phone to the Internet, which improves overall performance. The following phones are currently supported: * Nokia – 3555, 5320, 6300, 6500, 6600, E50, E51, E63, E65, E66, E71, N70, N72, N73, N78, N80, N81, N82, N85, N95, N96 * Samsung – U900 Soul * Sony Ericsson – C510, C902, C905, G705,K610i, K800i, K805i, T650i, W200i, W580i, W595, W660i, W980. At present, OneApp is available in South Africa through Blue Label Telecoms and their mobile service. Microsoft plans to launch OneApp in more countries within the next year.You can check out Microsoft  one app site for more details or follow them on twitter.
