Posted by thumpad.com in General, Multimedia, Software on March 4, 2010
Opera Mini now speaks Windows Mobile-ish! In other words, the platform now enjoys a native version of the Opera Mini 5 web browser. Up until now, WinMo users needed Java support, but that's no more.
After Skype ditched support and development for their WinMo native app, Opera are going the other way.
The Opera Mobile 10 beta has been out there for a few months but the Mini version has several advantages that make it worth downloading. The Opera Mini 5 for WinMo, just like its Java-based sibling,……

Sony's offering a select group of wannabes a chance at the job via 'The Tester' — a new reality show being broadcast exclusively through the PlayStation Network. If you don't want to suffer the indignitie……

Facebook may seem to have an endless line of facelifts, but its response to user criticism is slow at best. Twitter, on the other hand, has been slow to roll out new features and tweak the interface, often announcing changes months in advance. Meanwhile, Buzz has been out for less than a week, and Google is already making its second round of changes to the service's default behavior ……
