Opera Software launches alpha version of Unite

Opera Software launches alpha version of Unite Opera Software, a Norway based browser company, has made public an alpha version of Unite, a technology platform that turns a computer into both a client and a server which would permit its users to connect with each other and to share files, photos as well as music without using third-party services.

Jon von Tetzchner, CEO of the company, said, "We are enabling every single computer to be a two-way street on the Internet."

According to company, the two-way technology has been fixed in Opera 10, the still-in-beta browser that the company will release in final form along with that application.

It was also informed that alpha version of Unite is a new platform for utilizing a Web server inside browser. 

No supplementary software has to be downloaded to run the Unite services in the browser and services will work wherever Opera works, including on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux, and later on mobile phones and other devices.

Those who want alpha version of Unite can download it from the Opera Labs Web site.
