You all know that I don't particularly like Opera. I find the product to be lacking polish, over-complicated and without the marketing pizazz that has made Firefox a household name. That's just my personal opinion, and that opinion has garnered many complaints of unjustness. To that end, to present a fairer discussion I would like to put a simple question to the community: "What should Opera do?".

To be honest I think Opera is going to struggle. Years ago before Google and Apple has their own browsers, Opera had some clear ways to differentiate through speed and advanced specification compliance. Today the market is very different and the path to differentiate is much more clouded and difficult. Even in the mobile space there's so much more competition. I can't imagine users in any significant quantity installing Opera on an iPhone, an Android device or a Palm Pre.
Sometimes when the big players move in you have to radically change your product offering to stay relevant. This might be one of those times.
