Brett praises Opera....
Jon S Von Tetzchner is now up... They make browsers. They put the browser on anything out there. PC, Mac, Linux, Solaris, etc. You can also run it on your mobile, nintendo, etc. all running the same source code. The product is the same, feature wise, on all devices, no matter what. 3 business units include, desktop, mobile and other. The browser is the glue between all devices (PC, tv, mobile, etc.) 39 millions downloads of Opera on desktop on 2006. More than 150 million downloads ever. More than 40 million phones shipped with Opera pre-installed. More than 7 million active Opera mini users. More than 500,000 my opera community members. Top 5 countries using Opera for desktop; Russia, Germany, USA, Poland and Japan. Top countries using Opera Mini; Russia, USA, Ukrain etc. They are a team of 350 people, including 250 engineers. They have been doing this for 10 years. Opera has spent more than 1 million dev hours and 2 million testing hours.
