Opera Software

In preparation for hearing our speaker some research was done on the Opera Software Company.
Apparently Opera is not that popular on pc’s however it is a lot more popular on mobile devices.
Some of the interesting features I read on wikipedia were that Opera is actually faster than IE 7, It has a built in pop up blocker feature on the browser, it has a web feed aggregator. It also has an IRC Chat built in it as well. It has a speed dial feature which we can add links for different webpages for easier navigation to the websites.
I found the following on Opera's website, Apparently they offer University tours:
Opera Software’s university tours explore:
*the history and future of the Web
*the browser industry
*open Web standards
*Web applications
*the role of the Web and mobile browsing, particularly in developing countries

"Opera can also deliver specific tutorials and tailor the content of each seminar to address topics most relevant to each university and the learning of its students.
Students can gain new perspectives on technology trends, direct questions to Opera Software developers and product managers in panel discussions, and network with people leading the IT industry."

and something cool i found : check out their University Tours blog!!!
