No its not the same as the feature in your mobile phone, and its not a part of the Opera Mini feature list also. Its yet another innovative feature by the Opera programmers at Norway. Speed Dial lets you set your favourite bookmarks in a speed dial fashion. Confused, Click on the pics below !

“Speed Dial is based on the idea that people generally have five to 10 sites they browse regularly throughout the day,” said Johan Borg, team manager for Opera’s desktop browser. “Speed Dial is made for almost instant access to those sites. We want developers and the curious-minded to discover Speed Dial. When they do, we hope they’ll help us with another rigorous round of testing before the final release.”

Each bookmark on the speed dial is represented by its thumbnail view, entering the number in address book opens the URL. Really Exciting Feature !

Yes folks , Philips , the dutch company which often said lets make things better (or was it someone else) now says sense and simplicity. They have made a new cellphone – Xenium NRG with a killer feature. Once your normal cellphone battery starts to run low, there is an easy alternative. Just pop in a AAA battery and you can get upto three hours of talktime. If the AAA bettery is a rechargable one, you will be able to recharge that battery using the cell phone charger only.

The revolutionary cellphone has been developed by Philips in collaboration with Energizer (the battery company ) and an Israeli chip making firm Techtium which is famed for its energy efficiency devices.
