Opera 10 Final released, bringing back 'turbo' mode

Debuting in a rather comprehensive alpha nine months ago, and in beta at the beginning of the summer, Opera 10's final version has been officially released today.

With a new interface, new "turbo" compression technologies, an improved email client, and even a new desktop icon, Opera 10 has received a thorough makeover.

Since being made available early this morning, the demand for Opera 10 has been extremely taxing on Opera's servers, the team says they're working hard to fix that. In the first couple of hours alone, the new browser was downloaded more than 200,000 times.

In addition to being available as a Web download, Opera 10 is also available through FTP.
