An increasing proportion of Opera's (growing) revenue comes from advertising (they bought a few agencies recently) and their share price continues to climb. I don't think they have many problems moving forward, it's just less visible than their traditional consumer-facing domain.

Still a shame they dropped Presto, though.

Doesn't make much sense to ditch webmail anyway. There are many ways in which webmail can help and promote their other products.

Is that separate from their browser stuff?

More or less I think, they bought AdMarvel.

Interesting - perhaps it has the same market as Opera's browsers used to (e.g. carriers)?

As a geek, I often forget that a shared market can indicate why a company is doing something new, as well as a shared product.
