Sony Nixes Plan to Scratch Discs for PS4

As Facebook Rumors Swirl, Opera Plays Up Its Social Cred In New Opera Mini 7 Browser For ‘Basic’ Phones

opera_mini_7_j2me_smart_page_social_in_phoneTalk about coincidence. Just earlier this week, in a post on Facebook and the possibility of buying web browsing company Opera and facial recognition company Face.com, we highlighted how a new version of Opera Mini would feature much stronger social integration -- specifically aimed at the feature phone segment -- both key points for Facebook. Today, Opera came good with a full release of that Opera Mini browser, Opera Mini 7 (but still has no official comment on those acquisition reports). As expected, the new browser is aimed not at Apple and Android-based smartphones but more "basic" devices -- specifically those built on Java ME, Nokia's S60 and BlackBerry (yes, Opera categorizes RIM's smartphone as basic). Opera is using the release to incorporate some new, key social features on a new Smart Page to increase the time spent by users on its own pages and in its browser.
