Vijay For Victory

Opera Mini browser was submitted on Apple iTunes store in March last week. There were so many debates going on in blogosphere, about the approval process by Apple. As it is a direct competition to Safari, many predicted that this won’t be approved by Apple.

Despite of all these arguments, Opera Mini Browser is now made available to public in Apple Store. This app has been approved by Apple on 13 Apr 2010, after 20 days.

It’s slick interface really gives a better performance.  Here are few screenshots from Opera Mini Browser.

Opera Mini Browser video demo would explain more about the features and performance. Opera Mini had definitely created really a tough competition to Apple Safari.

I have just installed the app and the first experience is good. Still a lot more to explore.

Download Opera Mini Browser from Apple App Store.

Mini Opera has been submitted to Apple Store. Check out the cool features in Mini Opera browser and the speed comparison with Safari. 

Opera also started a counter to find, how long will Apple take to approve(???) the app. Not sure how long this counter is going to run?

And they are also running a competition. “When do you think Opera Mini will be approved by Apple?” The closest guess wins a brand new iPhone!

Design Indian Currency Symbol

Most of the countries have identification symbols for their currency. $ is for U.S Dollar, £ for GBP, € for Euro etc.,

But Indian currency, Rupee, does not have a unique identification symbol. So for, Rs has been used to denote the Indian currency and there is no official symbol to identify the Indian Currency.

Recently Government of India – Ministry of Finance announced Competition for Design to finalize an official identification symbol for Indian currency.

This would be a great opportunity for all artists and designers to take part in this historical competition.

Are you not an artist? No worries, still you can take part in the historical event.

Economic Times came up with a set of currency designs that are designed by it’s designers. This has been released to public to select the best design out of the set.

All these designs along with the public view will be sent to Ministry of Finance.  Visit the following link to select your own symbol from the set.
