FoneArena interviews Jon Tetzchner of Opera Software at SEE 2009 in London

Biography

Jon S. von Tetzchner

Co-founder — Chief Executive Officer

Jon S. von Tetzchner, along with colleague Geir Ivarsøy, started developing a Web browser while working for Norwegian Telecom Research (Telenor) in 1994. Soon after, the Opera browser was available for the public and is now widely used, pioneering many innovations that have revolutionized Web browsing.

As CEO of Opera Software, Tetzchner spreads the company’s vision of One Web, which means giving people universal access to the Web the way they like it. Opera, the oldest browser company still in business, believes the Web is too important to be available to the privileged few. Opera’s cross-platform browser provides the best possible Internet experience regardless of platform, device capability or network quality. Opera’s leading Web technology is now popular the world over for its unique features–especially because it is nimble, secure and fast.

Tetzchner has been a member of the Forum for Young Global Leaders since 2005 and was named as one of BusinessWeek’s Stars of Europe in 2004. In 2009, Tetzchner was named as one of the top 40 leaders shaping the mobile communications industry by analyst firm Informa and as one of the top 15 mobile influencers by GigaOM. Tetzchner is a self-confessed geek with a big interest in gadgets and high-tech devices. His interest in computers started in his early days, especially in user interfaces and accessibility. While traveling, he may prefer a visit to local electronics stores rather than a popular tourist spot. He holds a Master’s degree in Computer Science from the University of Oslo.

Last week, we were invited to visit the Nokia Research Center located in Bangalore, where the Nokia Research Team demoed us a pilot project called “We Meet“, a Location Aware SMS Based application.

This application allows the users to create groups and chat with group in realtime. And also since the application supports location sharing based on the CBS i.e Cell Broadcast Service, the user can even broadcast their location with the rest of the group members without a GPS enabled device.

We Meet works on Java and hence can be easily run on all S60 and S40 Devices. Using the Java application, you can create create a group, add members to a particular group, participate in a real time chat with a specific group,  modify application settings like turning on/off the location sharing service to protect your privacy, turning on/off the whole service etc. You can also keep track of the sent and received SMS using the inbuilt SMS Counter.

However if your phone does not support Java, you can still use the “We Meet” service by making use of the text commands listed here.

So if you are interested in trying out this group SMS application, just head over to the application’s home page and download the application.

I know many of you are eagerly waiting for the launch of the E72 and while the handset is expected to be launched this month in India , TehkSeven has surprised us with a wonderful E72 Copper theme for Nokia S60 Phones.

The E72 Copper theme was inspired by one of the original default themes loaded into the new Nokia Enterprise series device – such as the Nokia E52, Nokia E55, and of course, the Nokia E72. E72 Copper is 100% SVG and is made with Nokia Ovi icon set.

We just installed this on a old E71  and the theme is certainly worth downloading.

The good news is that this theme is compatible for most Nokia S60 phones including S605th Edition phones.

It has been reported that an Australian programmer under the codename of lkee wrote a virus (worm) for the Apple iPhone specially the one that had been jailbroken.

The worm was programmed to scan the networks of Telus, Optus and Vodafone in Australia. Once infected, the worm would automatically change the wallpaper of the iPhone.

lkee states that he developed this worm as a warning to users and not to get extract any information. He wanted to motivate users to change their root password. The unchanged root password is the reason why the worm enters the iPhone. By default, it is set as “alpine” in jailbroken iPhones.

But this week, another person has created a modified version of this worm called “iPhone/Privacy.A”. It is programmed to retrieve messages, emails, photos, videos or any other data stored on the phone silently.

So to take precaution, please change your root password. It is not guaranteed to work but at least it’s worth the prevention.

Joe Hewitt, the brains behind the Facebook application for the Apple iPhone has quit further development of the application.

“Time for me to try something new. I’ve handed the Facebook iPhone app off to another engineer, and I’m onto a new project. My decision to stop iPhone development has had everything to do with Apple’s policies.” – Joe Hewitt

The Facebook application by Hewitt is the most popular application ever created for the platform. Thus this move will have a huge impact on the development of the application. The application will continue to develop but not at the excellent speed and quality as before.

Joe Hewitt is also known for his contribution towards the Mozilla Firefox Web browser.
