Opera Labs has just released a very cool new add-on for its mobile browser. When you’ve got a lot of links clumped together, touching the area will bring up all of the selections nearby, allowing you to confirm what you wanted click on. Yeah, it adds an extra step, but I’ve always found that the lack of precision was a serious hindrance to browsing on touchscreens sans stylus. Cool for sure, but it’s a little confusing that the download is available only for the now-defunct Symbian UIQ. If you happen to be rolling on a UIQ device, go ahead and download Fingertouch, but how about something for S60, at least?

Simon Sage
Simon Sage’s education largely surrounded writing, technology and online community, leading him to begin his blogging career at www.BlackBerryCool.com and to quickly discover a vibrant and active community surrounding BlackBerry and mobile technology. In exploring RIM’s platform, he has learned what enterprises are looking for in mobility as well as what makes the innocuous BlackBerry so appealing to them. Recently Simon’s been covering RIM’s gradual move into an already-crowded consumer market, and the impact of burgeoning challengers, such as the iPhone, as well as long-time leaders, like Nokia, on BlackBerry’s advancement. With plenty of content under his belt, Simon will be branching off a bit to see what other smartphone manufacturers are working on while still using BlackBerry as a barometer. At IntoMobile, you can count on his posts being even-handed, well-informed and thought-out.
