Opera reveals version 10 vision
Tom Espiner | July 25
Cnet - Though a launch date for Opera 10 hasn't yet been set, Opera is hoping the updated application will lure users away from Microsoft's Internet Explorer 7 by building on Opera 9's use of small Web applications called widgets.
The company expects version 10 to work on and across any platform, a continuation of its work to make Opera 9 compatible with different platforms, such as Nintendo DS game consoles, as a way of differentiating the browser from Microsoft's offering.
