Opera launches Unite

Opera has released details of its new Unite product – in effect turning your browser into a web server.

It is a technology that can be used by developers to create applications (known as Opera Unite services) which allows people to link their personal computers together.

It has been released with a number of sample services to demonstrate the technology, such as a “messenger” application and a media player. It operates wherever Opera currently does – Windows, Mac, Linux, and later mobile phones and other devices, and means no more software is needed.
