Opera turns to Johansen brothers to fine-tune Opera Turbo

Odd and Even Johansen kick off hunt for world's slowest connection.

Opera, with assistance from the famous packing duo, Odd and Even Johansen, unveiled the first release candidate of Opera 10. You can download and help test the release candidate at http://www.opera.com/next/. With help from the Johansen brothers who worked "dag og natt" to help Opera fine-tune Opera Turbo, the final version of Opera 10 is set for launch on September 1, 2009.

"Our family has always been passionate about one thing: flat packaging," explains Even Johansen. "Our grandfather once packed himself into a bucket."

"We are on a mission to show how Opera Turbo packs Web pages down, so they get into your computer faster," noted Odd Johansen. "Therefore, we are hunting for the slowest Web connection to come and attend it personally."

What we say
"Working with the Johansen brothers has been an experience," said Jan Standal, VP of Desktop Products. "These guys want to pack everything they find into small boxes. Ten minutes after I met them, my office looked like an IKEA warehouse. I knew immediately we found the right people to bring Opera Turbo to the world."
