Still waiting for a Vivaldi, but no news when it will be available. Maybe should buy an Archos 80 G9 so I can start using #PA3.


KDE has released the 3rd stable version of Plasma Active, KDE's device-independent user experience. The Plasma Active user interface is touch-friendly and works well across a range of devices. Its Activities function gives users a natural way to organize and access their applications, files and information. Plasma Active Three noticeably improves the user experience with its enhanced and expanded set of apps, improved performance and a new virtual keyboard.


News from the Vivaldi


Finally there was something new today from the #Vivaldi on Aaron's blog. Looking forward to the Plasma Active 3 release soon and then I really need to get a device! :-)

Already bit old, from the release of PA2, but it presents some ideas of it quite good.

Why would you spend a few hundred dollars on a device that is little more than a smartphone (with a bigger screen, without the phone)? ...
