Find out more about three of the most recent software programs and whether they can bring improvements to your world.
Desktop and laptop users can now take advantage of the newest version of the Opera web browser, Opera 11. It has numerous helpful features, such as flexible tab browsing, parental control and built-in mail client. It will not be a mistake to say that this new web browser is compliant with all new high-end web browsing standards.
Opera 11 has cross platform compatibility, which makes it more competitive to the newly released software programs by rivals. This web browser comes with extensions, which were not typical for its predecessors. Still, the variety of extensions is not as large as in some of its main competitors, such as Firefox and Chrome. Perhaps the main benefit of Opera 11 is its speed, which promises to be the fastest in web browsing, at least for the time being.
The new Google Picasa 3.8 photo editing, organizing and sharing software program promises to be a real hit. This software program has it all. Apart from allowing you to edit photos, this software offers photo organizing and photo sharing tools. The user friendly interface is just one of the advantages of Google Picasa 3.8. It offers excellent face recognition and geo tagging. It allows you to sync local edits with online images. Now you can choose from a wider selection of photo embellishments.
This software is not perfect, however. You cannot use it for histogram editing. Furthermore, you have to use a plug-in to upload pictures on Facebook. Still, Google Picasa 3.8 has cross platform compatibility. More importantly, you can get it for free.
Skype 3.0 finally allows users to make free Skype to Skype video calls between iOS devices and desktop computers. The users of portable devices will be able to use both Wi-Fi and 3G networks for making these Skype-to-Skype video calls. Account creation and credit transfer are simple and easy. Another great feature is the ability to add and create IM and SMS contacts fright from the application.
The new Skype 3.0 software has well designed and user friendly interface. The quality of the calls is good. The sound quality is excellent, provided that you are using a fully functional device. The picture quality is not perfect. In fact, according to users, there is more to be desired. The frame rate could be faster as well. Additionally, video calls are no connected as quickly as desired. Generally, even though the service is not perfect, it is quite good and functional to use, especially given the fact that it is free.
These are just some of the software programs that promise to bring more convenience, functionality and entertainment in 2011. Keep looking for more.
