Opera UI feedback
Hi folks, I've now started as Lead Designer at Opera, and this is my inaugural post on the Desktop Team Blog! I'm looking forward to blogging here about the process as much as I can.
I'm currently working on a strategy on how to take the Opera User Interface forward, and I'm eager to get your opinions on a particular subject: Native look and feel.
How much does Opera feel like native application on your operating system? How much does it matter to you? Those using Opera on just one platform may want it look utterly native, whereas those using it on multiple platforms might appreciate a consistent 'family' look. This is one of the things I'll be looking at, and striving to find the right balance and approach.
I'm predominantly a OS X user, so I'm particularly looking for (constructive!) feedback from users on other platforms. In the past, I'd always thought that the Mac was the only platform where where Opera looked like it didn't quite 'fit', but I need to be sure!
Please let me your thoughts via this simple survey form. Thanks for all your help!
Opera Mini 4.2 beta - sok újdonsággal
Hamarosan újabb verzió érkezik az Opera Minihez, amelyet mától már ki is próbálhatsz a telefonodon. Az új verzió több hasznos újdonságot is tartalmaz. Mivel ez egy előzetes verzió, ezért a telepítésnél a régi Opera Mini mellé kerül a telefonodra, így nem kell a régi verziót eltávolítanod telepítés előtt, sőt továbbra is használhatod azt is.
A beta kiadása mellett az Opera Mininek más oka is van az ünneplésre, ugyanis nemrég elérték a húszmillió aktív felhasználószámot havi szinten.
De lássuk az újdonságokat:
-
Az új beta visszahozott egy régebben már bevezetett, majd törölt funkciót, a bőröket. Mostantól újra módosíthatod a Mini megjelenését kedved szerint.
A Mini most sokkal gyorsabb lett az Egyesült Államokban és Ázsiában, köszönhetően az új szerverparkoknak. Szerencsére nálunk is gyorsul emiatt valamivel a böngészés, mivel a norvég szerverek terheltsége csökkent az új szerverparkok miatt.
A Mini most még több telefonon támogatja a mobilos videótartalmakat, mint amilyen az m.youtube.com. Ha egy új Sony Ericsson vagy Nokia telefonod van, akkor jó eséllyel működik nálad is az ilyen videó (a telefonnak támogatnia kell az RTSP protokollt). Vigyázz, mert a videólejátszás jelentősen megnövelheti a forgalmadat, és ezzel a telefonszámládat!
Az Opera Link már itt is támogatja a jegyzeteket, amelyeket képes az asztali Operával is szinkronizálni. A jegyzeteket a könyvjelzők alatt találod meg, és lehet őket szerkeszteni is. Vigyázat! Ebben a funkcióban több ismert hiba is van, így a jegyzeteidet mentsd el, mielőtt kipróbálod!
- 24 új nyelven is elérhető lesz az új Mini.
Az új betát a www.operamini.com/beta címről töltheted le a telefonoddal, vagy ugyanezen a címen megtalálod a szükséges fájlokat, ha a számítógépről akarod feltölteni a telefonra.
Opera Mini 4.2 beta available for testing!
Opera Mini 4.2 beta will be installed next to your other Opera Mini version(s), so there's no need to delete anything before downloading the beta.
Here are the new features added since Opera Mini 4.1:
- Synchronize, edit and delete notes via Opera Link
- 24 new languages
- Better handling of RTSP, enabling more users to watch video
- Skins are back (along with new skins)
- "Accept" link at the end of the EULA (for BlackBerry users)
In addition we are now in the progress of enabling global load balancing for all our users. See the blog post for more info.
We hope you all enjoy this beta as much as us, and that you will provide feedback in our forum or directly in our feedback thread. Bugs can also be reported directly from Opera Mini (Menu -> Tools-> Help -> Bug report).
Known issues
As this is a beta, there are a couple of known issues. Here's a list of some of them:
- Some of the new languages are not fully translated for the beta, but will be fully supported for the final version.
- There are several issues with notes in Opera Link. Your device may not support viewing or editing of very large notes. Backup your notes before trying!
What is RTSP
RTSP is a protocol used for streaming media, such as videos. If your phone supports RTSP via Opera Mini, you should be able to play e.g. YouTube videos on your phone. These will not be played in Opera Mini, but by the media software in the device. We would like to remind those of you without a fixed data subscription that streaming media requires a lot of
data traffic, and can be very expensive. Depending on the device, you may have to configure a new access point before streaming works. Also, some devices will not do streaming unless they are connected via WiFi (we have seen this on BlackBerry).
Now we will do our best to finish the final release for you. Enjoy the beta! :)
Best regards,
The Opera Mini team
20 Million Opera Mini users
Opera Mini is officially the world's favourite mobile Web browser. With more than 20 million active monthly users there's no doubt that the Mini browser just keeps growing and growing.
Today we released the beta of Opera Mini 4.2 which is a free download at http://www.operamini.com/beta/.
Speed and color of choice
Opera Mini users in the US and Asia-Pacific region can now experience faster speed, due to the addition of an Opera Mini server park in the US. We're also offering a sweet selection of new skins, bundled with improved support on more phones for YouTube and other mobile video services. It's more likely that your phone will work on the mobile version of YouTube.
