on a 5000D (without an external microphone) will the same voice commands work thru the microphone jack ? Or is this in any way just made to work on a 5600 with the external mic ?

Alos are the other features of the Opra on Z the same as on this version (apart from the multimodal feature) ? Can we actually replace the current opera with the IBM opera and use it for normal stuff too ?
Have to do a download today though....

So far I\'ve been using the new Opera 7 fine on my 760.   Seems to do it all.

I didn\'t install the entire IBM package, I just pulled out the opera IPK as someone mentioned earlier.

I haven\'t figured out yet what the \"Zaurus\" key is for me, so I haven\'t tried the voice features.

The only difference I have seen so far is it \"feels cool\" to have a newer version. ;-)

I had to copy the icons from the ROM where the old Opera was to where the new one was installed (overwrite the new ones) to get the tool bar to have large enough icons to see again though.

Tres cool this stuff, and it works dandy on my 5500 with Opie 1.0.2, and ontop of it, it\'s freaking fast!

In other words, I like it quite. Does this piece also work on OpenZaurus 3.3.5?

if you extract the ipk and then extract the data.tar.gz file then you should have opera 7.11.9553 in /home/zaurus/.opera/opera_arm.ipk


Hoping not to sound like an idiot, but could you please explain how to do this?

I assume you have the ipk already transferred to your Z and you have opened Applications ] Konsole (OZ) or Applications ] Terminal (SharpROMs).

The ipk is either an ar archive (ar -x whatever.ipk) or a tar.gz archive (tar zxf whatever.ipk). When you unpack it you will find a file called data.tar.gz which you then unpack (tar zxf data.tar.gz) and you should see some new directories. Examine them to find the opera ipk or try searching the whole Z (find / -name opera_arm.ipk).

Installed on my 5000D. Takes a long time to install (thats also because I have /home on SD and SD writes are always slower) but the thing works beautifully.

The voice - speech from the browser is prett fast and easy to understand too.
The only thing is I havent been as yet able to get the thing to recognise my voice commands.

Each time I press the round button (or click on the extreme right hand round button widget or press space and voice my command (\"Flight demo\") it says \"could not understand\".
Dont know if its because of my accent  :|

Anybody got the voice recognition part to work ?

But great piece of work. And Opera by itself with its features rocks.

Note added : Of course I have plugged in my headphones and am speaking into the left phone to use as a MIC. On the right side I can hear the speech from the browser, but my voice command are not recognised.

They say its for the 5600. Maybe only compatible with external MIC\'s ???

If IBM (or someone) is porting Opera 7 to the Zaurus, and if it will work on mine (5500 with tkcROM v1), there will be celebrations in my house tonight


Tim

Thanks to all forthe eariler posts about how to _just_ install Opera 7. I have done that on my SL-5500, and it works! Let me first say that it _is_ great that there is still development going on, on the Zaurus.

That being said, I don\'t really \"see\" any new features (that I can use). The mic is greyed out, and although it is possible to block pop-ups, I am not sure what the improvements are that warrent a major rev number increase (6 to 7).

Am I missing something?

One of the enhancements is autosurf

Opera Palmtop can be configured to automatically download a set of web pages to your device, for local offline browsing later. When autosurfing Opera save the specified web pages to your Zaurus, possibly with images, and with linked documents. All pages set up for autosurfing get their own entry under Autosurf in the main menu, and you may start autosurfing the site by selecting this, or you may configure a day and time when Opera will initiate the autosurfing by itself.

To set up a site for autosurfing you must first select Autosurf/configure from the main menu , or you may enter the keyboard shortcut U . This will bring up the Autosurf configuration dialog.

To set up the current page for autosurfing you can just click the Add current button. To enter another page you click the New page button and enter the page\'s internet address in the top entry field and press return.

For each autosurfed page you can specify:

Save name - The name of the page that will appear in your Zaurus\' File view.
Storage - The storage media to save to, eg. Internal Storage or CF card.
With images - Whether to include any images on the page.
With java - Whether to include any java applets on the page
With plugins - Whether to include any plugin objects on the page (eg. Macromedia Flash content). Note that although Opera may save applets and plugins, you will have no guarantee that they will work 100% in an offline mode, as some applets and plugins rely on a network connection.
Follow links - Opera may download not only the given page, but also any page that it refers to, and then any page referred to by these pages et cetera. If you only want to download the initial page, you set this option to level 0. If you want also to download the pages it refers to, but no more, you set it to level 1, and so on for higher levels of indirection.
WARNING: Beware that too many levels of indirection may fill up your entire Zaurus, causing problems for Opera and other programs. While Opera supports up to 5 levels of indirection, this will be too much except in special cases where you are certain that you will not receive an excessive amount of information.
Matching pattern - To reduce the amount of pages from a recursive autosurf, you may specify a matching pattern. Only internet addresses beginning with the specified pattern will be downloaded.
Time to autosurf - You may set up a time for Opera to perform the autosurf, either weekly or daily. Select the desired day and time (24-hour), and make sure that you have set the correct time on your Zaurus. You may also specify \"On request\", in which case you must initiate the autosurfing from the main menu .
To accept the setup click either Ok which also closes the dialog, or Apply which saves your settings, but keeps the dialog open for you to configure other sites to autosurf. To discard your changes click Cancel .

Since this is a trial from IBM I wonder if the Opera binary has an expiration date compiled in.

Removed Outlaw\'s post regarding username/password. This bypasses measures that IBM put in place to access the file. IBM has the right to password protect their applications (yes, even if the D/L is for free.).

 - for example I tried to download it and was blocked:
\"Our records indicate you are located in the country of AUSTRALIA and this offering is not available there. Please select another item. \"

Set your clock a year or two in the future and try it...you will find out very quickly

seems like a font problem.

Installs fine and opens but shuts down immediately on a fresh 750 / sash rom. Any ideas why ?

Or you will get a million alarms pop up at once and probably crash the thing.  :?

I wanted a browser to run in 320x240 on the c7x0 model so I could review some graphics for a game I want to write --
but opera and netfront seem to run only in the native ... and kong will run (enlarged), but it won\'t scale down below
50%.  I need to see how my images look at 20%, etc.  All I get is a black box.
