Opera for Tablets Demoed, Opera May Soon be Coming to Google TV

Weve caught up with Opera to get our own up-close and personal look at the newly-teased Opera for Tablets. The teaser video posted the other day left a lot to be desired essentially, it was just a bigger version of Opera Mobile, but with a slightly different user interface.

Weve learned more though: what sets Opera for Tablets apart from Opera Mobile is that itll come with Adobe Flash support from jump street. Thats pretty cool as its the one feature everyone is missing from Opera Mobile. Theyve confirmed that the Mobile product will be getting flash support, but they werent keen on saying when.
They also werent keen on shedding details regarding hardware acceleration support, but theyve confirmed its still planned for the final release. (Remember that this is all in beta still, folks.)

That wasnt the most interesting thing at the table, though: Operas creating a version of their browser for televisions. Theyve sent their products to all of the worlds popular OEMs for inclusion consideration with all of the internet connected TVs that have been announced today. Naturally, I asked if Google TV would be getting the app not right now, they said. But he left room for future endeavors in that regard, so our fingers are crossed.
VERY soon is all we could muster up as far as any time frame goes, and if history is anything to go by, theyll be sticking to their word. Check the video demo out below. (NOTE: This is running on the tablet version of Windows 7. They elected not to show it on the Samsung Galaxy Tab due to a horrid WiFi connection.)
