It’s a shame they still don’t have landscape mode working on the Blackberrys. I was really looking forward to that.
I’m sure they have priorities that they’ve set for what needs to get done, and there probably just isn’t enough of a demand for that. I was talking to one of the Opera employees a few weeks back when they released the last Beta with special Blackberry updates, and they said that they were pressed for time to get the Blackberry-specific updates in there. So I guess you just gotta be grateful for what you’ve got, after all, it doesn’t cost you a thing.
I love these logo collages you guys come up with.
Thanks! I think this was the best one because the Pidgin is so darn cool. I have fun putting them together in the morning (sometimes they take as long as putting together the article itself).
Sometimes I think he has a little too much fun making the logo collages.
