In what seems to be a likely partnership, Google and NASA have joined together to bring space exploration down to earth. Both Google and NASA have something important to offer the other, and in return, we'll have access to loads of new information.
Back in September, we wrote about Opera's plans for a browser specifically for devices like the Sony Mylo, Mood Box, and yes, even Nitendo's Wii. The mobile market is something that not many other companies have appeared to be interested in. Today in their latest press release, Opera has announced that a trial version will be available on Friday, December 22.
