Opera has finally brought back its Unite feature that was ripped out from Opera 10 web browser. The new Opera 10.10 Beta 1 boasts of Opera Unite support built-in for converting PC into a web-server and a client at the same time. By enabling Opera Unite, users can access the contents of their computer like data and media from anywhere through the Opera browser. Head to Opera site - http://www.opera.com/browser/next/ to download the new Opera 10.10's first beta.
Opera 10.10 beta is the same Opera 10 that we reviewed but with Unite technology incorporated in it. Opera's Unite technology uses the browser interface to turn a computer into web server. This way, Opera ceases to redefine the client-server communication model for streamlined content sharing across the web.
We downloaded Opera 10.10 beta and synced about 15 music files with Unite's Media Player which almost crashed. It also consumed quite an amount of memory and we presume that's mostly when first sync takes place. Note that this is a beta build and hence may crash if you try to sync large amount of data with it.
As per the Opera 10.10 beta 1 changes log, Unite brings File Sharing, Media Player, Photo Sharing, Messenger, Fridge (for notes) and Web Server applications which were earlier referred as services. The name of each application suggests the functions they perform. Fridge application allows other users to leave notes on the computer.
The novel feature of Unite is that other users can use any browser to access user data shared publicly or privately by a user. Other changes in the browser mostly revolve around Opera Unite applications and functions.
