without comments

We knew that Opera Mobile 9.7 beta was on its way (in fact, we expected it in May,) but the build released to Windows Mobile consumers on Monday morning isn’t exactly what we had anticipated given certain hints in the business build that support for Flash video was on its way. We should say, the inclusion of Opera Turbo was dead on. What we hadn’t expected was a separate widget gallery to replace the one built into Opera Mobile 9.5 beta, the previous version.

Google won’t run all the Wave servers

without comments

In a recent story about how Google creatively destroys markets , I said that only Google will run the servers for Wave, its re-think of e-mail. I was wrong about that, as Google reps took pains to tell me. I want to set the record straight

Google releases Google Wave demonstration video

without comments

For those who are having a little trouble understanding exactly what Google Wave is all about, seeing it in action might help you wrap your head around the concept. Google has released video of Thursday’s keynote speech at Google I/O in San Francisco, where the company publicly demonstrated Google Wave for the first time before about 4,000 developers.
