NVIDIA Corporation and Opera Software are collaborating to bring the full desktop Web-browsing experience — including support for JavaScript, accelerated vector graphics, and video content — to smartphones and mobile Internet devices. As a result, NVIDIA will offer an optimized Opera 9.5 browser in its suite of pre-integrated, in-house and third-party software for the NVIDIA Tegra family of computer-on-chip Windows Mobile and Windows CE solutions.
NVIDIA’s Tegra solutions integrate ARM CPUs, extensive media acceleration and integrated GeForce GPUs. Such, Tegra-powered Opera 9.5 is made to provide mobile users with a full desktop like browsing experience with hardware-accelerated rich media, image and in-page video playback. GPU acceleration is there to deliver a smooth, highly-interactive panning and zooming browsing experience with significantly-reduced battery consumption.
Devices with the Opera browser powered by NVIDIA Tegra hardware are expected to be available to consumers in 2009.

Dusan Belic
Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
