Opera To Show Of Browser For Windows 7 Tablets at CES

CES is going to be making a lot of headlines over the coming weeks but Techcrunch has got some early news that Norwegian software maker Opera will be showing off a custom version of their Opera browser for tablets and netbooks.

They teased a preview on Monday of the custom browser designed specifically for hybrid touch devices saying that it would debut at CES this week. In the video below you’ll get a sneak preview of the tablet friendly version of the browser running on the Samsung Galaxy Tab.

Opera say that they are going to show off some Windows 7 tablets and netbooks which will be running this latest edition of their browser at CES. The current Opera browser is custom built for smartphone devices, but this tablet friendly version has been optimised to fit on larger screens and enhances the ability to smoothly scroll and zoom webpages on the larger screens.

While Opera will be showcasing the browser on a Windows 7 netbook at CES, it will only be a public demonstration so you wont be able to get your hands on it just yet. However they do say that a public release will be sometime in the near future, for both Windows 7 and Android.

Whether or not this will find it’s way to the iPad now is a completely different story, but remember how shocked we were when Apple actually approved the Opera mini browser for the iPhone? So I guess there’s hope, but not that we’re interested about the iPad. We’re all thinking more about that ExoPC Windows 7 Tablet that Mike just finished reviewing. aren’t we ???
