The Opera developers have released a beta version of the upcoming Opera 10.10 web browser. The biggest change in the beta is the inclusion of Opera Unite which provides web server features. Since web browsers usually act as clients it is now possible to have direct server client communications between Opera users.
The Opera Unite version that is integrated in the Opera 10.10 beta comes with several pre-installed applications including phoot sharing, messenger, file sharing, web server, media player capabilities and note posting with additional applications available from the official Opera Unite website at the Opera website.
Here are a few examples of what Opera users can do with Opera Unite:
- Create photo galleries and make them available without uploading them to a photo hosting website.
- File sharing without uploading the files to a file host
- Accessing the media collection from anywhere with the Media Player application
- Document Upload to your home computer from anywhere
- Creating chat rooms on a computer running Opera Unite.
- Hosting web sites with the web server application
The inclusion of Opera Unite in the beta release could be what developers have been waiting for to start developing applications for Opera Unite. About a dozen additional applications are already available at the Opera Unite website with everything set to take off now.
You can give the Opera 10.10 Beta with Opera Unite included a try by downloading it from the Opera website. Additional applications are available at the Opera Unite site.
