Opera 10.10 beta puts Unite front and center
When Opera 10 launched without one of its most-hyped features, Opera Unite, browser geeks had to install a separate build to test it out. Opera developers have now merged the two, integrating Unite into the main browser in Opera 10.10 Beta.
As we’ve reported before, Unite is a “web server within a web browser” that allows you to download and run various web applications. What does this mean for the average user? You can access your files from anywhere, and easily share them with friends.
The first Unite apps are all about sharing. There’s a media player to share music, a general file storage app, a web server app to host sites, and even a “fridge” app where you can leave notes for your friends. Media Player will probably get a lot of the early hype, as it lets you stream music from your machine to another computer with iTunes, WInamp, or your other player of choice (as long as it supports streaming playlists). Unite is still in the early stages, but no other browser has even attempted to do what Opera is doing in this space.
