Opera brings customization and ease of content distribution to global markets by enabling the delivery of web applications, widgets, full web browsing and emerging standards such as HTML5, HbbTV and OIPF. As a robust, open platform for creating web-standards-based solutions, Opera Devices SDK forms the ideal foundation for developing full web browsers and user interfaces. The Opera Devices Software Developer Kit (SDK) is the cross-platform, standards-based backbone of Opera for connected TVs and Blu-ray Disc players. Opera aims to deliver more "lean-forward", interactive components to connected home users by offering Opera's solution to Sony's state-of-the-art devices. Opera Software today announced to deliver its world-class browser on Sony BRAVIA televisions and Blu-ray Disc (TM) players. Oslo, Norway, and Tokyo, Japan, January 19, 2011 Opera chosen by Sony for LCD television and Blu-ray Disc players While we can't imagine it signals Mountain View's solution is destined for a dumping, between this and a similar move by Samsung including a browser in its own Smart TV platform, a little bit of jealousy could be just the kick Google needs to fix some glaring issues - which we're all for, especially if it spawns a new round of potato based cajoling. The real elephant in the room though is how this move relates to the Japanese tech giant's Internet TV initiative that's powered by Google TV. Since the browser is based off of the Opera devices SDK backbone, it's also not a stretch to imagine that Opera-enabled web applications, widgets, or other content using standards like HTML5 (no Flash, at least not yet) could piggy back onto Sony gear at some point. There's no specific details, but it given its low-key presence at CES a few weeks ago ( Sony Insider grabbed a video of it in action on the show floor - embedded after the break - unfortunately hampered by slow connection speeds) it will spread at least across the company's 22 new connected HDTVs.
Opera has officially announced its much-loved web browser will be appearing on Sony TVs and Blu-ray players.
