    I feel like there hardly can be a real need to replicate websites on speed dials, or substitute Opera widgets with them. Weather / RSS updates are too obvious, besides they're already pictured at opera.com/browser/next/.

    How about an impractical idea: to design a counter of pages visited, mouse clicks made, and even length of pages scrolled (in meters, feet etc. - according to user's preference). People like to read stats and track progress, why not give it a try.
  • Seji9. May 2011, 19:46

    My ideas :)
    1. Sticky notes (aka post-it notes) with reminders.

    2. Media player - music and video (the latter if possible).

    3. A notepad.

    4. Picture slideshow - like a photoframe showing pics stored on a harddrive.

    5. Multiple Speeddials that can be switched on an instant.
  • OPERATOR9. May 2011, 19:52

    I on't want any extensions :bigsmile: I thınk speed dial view must change or add another views optional...For example safari's top sites,or cooliris.
  • Alexodius Prime9. May 2011, 19:56

    An extension showing the last closed tab, or recent history, etc. for easier visual navigation.
  • Yair Mohr9. May 2011, 20:30

    I have a few ideas:

    1. A speed-dial based chat client, where one can have multiple conversations with friends, each with its own text-box (instead of one window/tab per conversations, where people tend to send messages to the wrong friends).

    2. This is a big one: Speed-Dial entries that always display the pages you last visited on Opera Mini (it's like Chrome to Phone the other way around and based on Opera Link).

    3. A speed-dial extension that uses the speed-dial search box and multiple boxes to display results of different types (or different search engines) simultaniously.

    4. This should be relatively simple: An extension that enables the user to split dials. i.e: have 2 rows of 4 boxes each, and dividing the top left box to a 2x2 box grid (4 dials in one, a concept for dial-stacking UI).

    5. Dedicated social networking extensions - i.e a speed-dial extension that instead of websites display a Facebook-feed item (or a tweet, or any other single item from a social network)) in each box, and lets you go to the interesting ones and "delete" the less-interesting ones (I know both FB and Twitter's APIs support things like that)...

    6. An extension that allows speed-dial to view closed tabs (like adding previews for the "recycle bin"), and more importantly - sessions.

    That's all for now. I will probably have more ideas in the upcoming days :smile:
  • Cutting Spoon9. May 2011, 20:48

    A music player. Well, is it possible to embed controls in the Dial context? Even accessing a web-based player and maintaining the stream would be nice.
  • aed9. May 2011, 22:12

    I have one Idea,

    Make the Speed dail screen like streaming screen with many different videos to be streamed in each small speed dail & the user also have the right to contorl the daimetion for every one to stream small one(if he want to make one bigger for more attention to him) & can pick the sound the he needs to listen to from one of the videos & also can stream one or diable the others (for speed limit issues in the Internet). and he can choose form where he needs to stream(youtube, megavideo. or local file....etc).
  • Tylor W.9. May 2011, 22:55

    An Extension that gives you the latest updates posted by Opera : Opera Browser: Opera Mini : Opera Mobile , depending on what language you speak. Also an extension with a guided outline how to customize your browser in all different ways, simple enough for everyone.

    Hi all :smile: Learning, need a developer to execute.

    1. Admin: SD extension for managing admin accounts.
    Content being, eg;
    Mail account. Account page. Billing page. Mobile catalog page. Showing text box of your extra ideas or notes when hovering over link. For a business this conveniently saves money (data cap} and time, for both worker and client.

    2. Workplates: SD extension for managing workplates.
    So as to access 'saved session' from SD instead of menu dropdown. Also to edit and manage workplate content preferences and notes for each individual client.

    3. Multimedia: - Multimedia SD extension for images, word and sound with your own 'keyword search'. A to Z of favourites [or genre], most played, most searched, top stories read or most popular.
    Editable so as to rackup a groovy playlist or image scrapbook for yourself or friends.

    4. My Opera Analytics: - SD extension to display most visited links of the day, or week on our much loved my opera pages. Very helpful for honing in on content that your my opera group or social media groups like to read most.

    5. My Opera Comments: SD extension for comments to favourite sites here at my opera as opposed to facebook. :wink:

    All the best!
  • Taufiq Ahmed10. May 2011, 04:42

  • José Reyna10. May 2011, 05:40

    My ideas:

    5) Notification of incoming email (for email pages)
    6) Download/Uplodad speed
    7) Opera and CPU basic statistics
    8) Simple translator
    9) Images Presentation
    10) Give zoom effect (pop) when you click on an image of a page of speed dial
    11) Image zoom when mouse over (on an image of SP page)

    clarifying this, because it would really improve my daily rituals:

    A Speed Dial which shows the thumbview/screenshot of the (1) mail-unread OR (2) mail-received OR (3) mail-RSS-feeds listview.

    How often do you switch to the mail panel to check if you've got new mail ...
  • mopco10. May 2011, 06:10

    A speed dial which shows the last few aggregated messages from (all) IRC chats. This way you wouldn't have to switch through all chat tabs to read the last few items. (yes, the font would have to be quite small ...)
  • BkmzAlt10. May 2011, 06:21

    1. In one of cells SpeedDial it is possible to show internet-statistics and accounts.
    2. From some cells it would be possible to open new SpeedDial.
    3. To make in cells SpeedDial direct support of web-cameras - working in the internet, to observe someone.
  • sinni80010. May 2011, 08:45

    Speed Dial extension that shows the current weather

    Speed Dial extension that shows data from Opera Unite (like how your whiteboard looks currently, shopping lists..)
  • Jaahquubel10. May 2011, 08:52

    - Some picture of the day as a box.
    - Multisearch in a SD box.
    - Closed Pages Menu in a SD box.
    - To-read pages put in a list (like Tab vault extension) in a SD box.
    - Or simply user buttons as SD boxes.

    I have no time to be a developer.
  • Hitaisin10. May 2011, 09:05

    countdown SD: in settings you set date and url/picture, SD shows site_screenshot/picture and countdown timer in days until event begins

    opera uptime SD: show opera session in HH:MM (how long have you been wasting your time in internet :smile: )

    file sharing: file dropped to SD will be shared via opera_unite/dropbox/image_hosting/etc

    tab session save as SD: one click on SD will open tab session

    tab stack as SD

    opera M2 mail notifier in SD

    SD as sticky note

    when opera download something Download Manager SD will appear (showing time/size/etc), when download is finished Download Manager SD will disappear

    * Music player on speed dial. (I'm not sure if it possible with curren API)
  • Mik Furie10. May 2011, 10:26

    Agenda


    A simple enough extension. This will link into any web based calendar (starting with Gcal) and list all entries for the day, week or month on the speed dial tile. Challenges may be to make the tile scrollable to see more entries, although a Previous/Next button setup is perfectly acceptable. Other options could include showing a custom background behind the tile, turning the tile off when there are no entries (a simple "Nothing happening right now" message would be acceptable) and the ability to add an event to the main calendar list from the tile. Finally a button to access the main version of the calendar page would be appreciated too.

    Daily News

    This would show a newspaper on the speed dial which is linked up to a feed reader and showing the latest headlines. Clicking on the newspaper tile would expand the paper to full size over the speed dial screen enabling readers to turn the pages and read each story with the title as a headline, the site as the author and so on and so forth. The newspaper would have several tabs down the side (which can be individually turned on and off in settings) allowing users to change section to sports, gossip, comics, etc and these sections can have individual feeds linked to them in the settings menu.
  • Andrei Olaru10. May 2011, 11:13

    1. speed dial for facebook formed of the pictures of the friends that posted the latest updates; optional some more advanced criterium than "most recent".

    2. speed dial for Google Tasks* that shows the next tasks; idea works for other task management sites.

    * https://mail.google.com/tasks/ig?pli=1

    3. speed dial that just shows the time. or time and date. something very simple, maybe even based on, an in the vein of, http://time.is/
  • Junega10. May 2011, 12:17

    my Opera mail extension would be a great one for opera browser.
    Like preview inbox.

  • Raghuram10. May 2011, 13:46

    I've an idea

    Why not treat the speed dial page like the home screens of an android phone? The actual speed dials can be the widgets

    Suggestions:
    1. Speed dials can be of different sizes to fit display of information
    2. Speed dials update automatically by refreshing every few minutes
    3. Users should be able to interact with the speed dials
    examples:
    1. The weather widget (or speed dial) will span two speed dial spots with detailed forecast for next three days
    2. Put amazon mp3 cloud drive (even tho' it doesn't support opera :smile:) as a speed dial (or widget) - once I click play on a speed dial page, music should be played in the back ground even if I open a webpage from the speed dial page.
  • Jishnu Devan10. May 2011, 14:19

    Speed dial with news headlines updated once a minute.
    Another speed dial extension enabling slideshow of popular flickr pictures,
    a speed dial of an e-book with slideshow of each pages;
    a speed dial of to-do activities of each day or hour , and
    a speed dial which warns the user of the time they spent on browsing.

  • Nguyễn Đắc Tùng10. May 2011, 14:53

    A Larger Speed Dial has some features below:
    - It has tab including social network to update your status
    - A tab for reading information from rss
    - A tab keeps weather information up-to-date
    - A tab for checking email :smile:
    - A tab for playing music and with a much larger speed dial, it may be a movie theater, people can watch youtube, video
    - A tab is a schedule task and it will ring to tell people what the have to do at that time

    And an extension can help people design their own ideas
  • Abhinav10. May 2011, 16:43

    Speed Dial-Photo frame(Speeddial screensaver):
    We all enjoy screen saver on our operating systems, how about screen saver for the speed dial.
    This extension basically either slides pictures from a folder in your hdd or from the internet wherein you provide a single or multiple url's.
  • Sveta10. May 2011, 17:05

    1)I suggest the audio player in the speed dial, which includes "pause" and "play", "next ", "previous" buttons , scroll line. I also propose to use the player as a stand-alone player, radio, and extension for Windows Media Player, Itunes.

    2)Drag and drop files into the specified window, which will send them to the server storing files (photos, video etc hosting ...)

    3)Opera tips window.

    4)Timer, alarm with sound.

    5)Extension 'the top 20 sites today/this week/month/year.'
  • matmetal61310. May 2011, 18:41

    an extension to making another page of spedd dial.
    to have multi speed dials.
    for example making the community speed dials seperate from the sport spedd dials.
    in another word:
    a folder speed dial extension, that contains another speed dial screen

    in continues

    an ext that can resize its own new speed dials that can show a special part of selected page.
    for example:
    an ext that shows only the top5 eng footbal league table!, just by selectig that area
  • takeya8810. May 2011, 18:48

    *Download tab in speed dial - show speed and progress of top X downloads.
    *Winamp/WMP control - Winamp/WMP control buttons
    *favourite IRC channels as tabs for speed dial.

  • Ciprian10. May 2011, 23:41

    it would be cool to have a speed dial extension for the music player of your PC. to be able to play , pause and stop your music directly from your opera browser.
    Or an extension for internet radio , or maybe even streaming music from the speed dial box.
  • b-u11. May 2011, 01:14

    Hi, Iam not a developer but here is my idea: "Speed Dial Animations"; for example cliking on a preview from a web site this explodes or get out flying (something like that XD)...

    Or maybe a extension that allows to see our favorite sites updated in sequence (s a slide with previews one after another).

    Sorry my bad english.
  • btyop11. May 2011, 04:24

    It would be nice if speed dial extension can upload file to certain file hosting site such Mediafire, Megaupload, Rapidsahre, etc. All you have to do just drag a file from your computer to speed dial to upload it.
  • nibzms11. May 2011, 06:29

    How about being able to use a box as a picture frame. Sort of like a slide show of all the photos on your computer.
  • Cristian Muñoz11. May 2011, 07:51

    Something similar to SpringBoard from iOS
  • Yair Mohr11. May 2011, 09:34

    OK, I have another bunch of ideas in addition to my first ones:

    7. An extension that implements Microsoft's Web Slices feature, allowing the user to select a certain region of the webpage to get updates from (unlike RSS, that gets updates for the whole page/site).

    8. I thought this was an obvious one: An extension that displays your friend's last images from Facebook ect. like Windows Phone's Live Tiles.

    9. In addition, you could have a context-related extension, which displays different speed-dial items depending on the time (for example: news sites in the morning and sports/tv listings in the evening) or place (requires geo-location support).

    10. A little gimmick I don't remember seeing in other comments: An extension that switches the speed-dial background image every few seconds (or every time a new speed-dial tab is opened) and uses an image folder (or several image folders) defined by the user.
  • Atilla Göğüslü11. May 2011, 11:17

    1-)Animations in Speeddials. Like "gif".
    2-)Rotate and move like sticky notes.
    3-)Group sites like floders.
  • DawidM11. May 2011, 11:37

    Possible to categorize speed dials in something like is on bbc homepage.
