Opera

Opera is a clean and efficient web browser with tons of downloadable features. It is also, provided you downloaded the “internet channel”, the browser that powers your Wii. It can be downloaded free from [|www.opera.com].



Opera is setting itself up to be the most user-friendly for generation iPod, incorporating features such as mouse gestures. Using simple mouse gestures, you can perform actions normally assigned to a menu bar. For instance, double-clicking in any empty browser window opens your home page. Right-clicking and then dragging left or right will take you to the previous or next browser window.

Opera is also the latest application to play with voice activation technology, allowing you to use voice commands to achieve these actions as well.

One of the most intriguing features of Opera, at least for me, is “speed dial”.

When you open up a new tab in Opera, it will display your “speed dial” pages – the most recent pages that you’ve visited, or pages that you have assigned to speed dial.

However, it does not as yet import Firefox bookmarks.

Opera Mail. Is an ingenious idea, it’s a mail server, similar to Windows Live Mail or Thunderbird that is an integrated part of your browser.

In order to launch Opera Mail, click on the Opera menu button at the upper left of the screen, and then click on **Mail and Chat Accounts**.



This will open up your accounts dialog window, where you can add, delete or edit email accounts being served by Opera mail.



To remove an email address, simply click on that email address and then click **delete**. It will no longer download emails from that address.
