Opera has announced that Beta 10.10 of its desktop browser is now available. The beta includes Opera Unite, which adds a server to your web browser, meaning that you can interact with and serve content to other computers on the Web.

The beta includes a few apps which demonstrate this functionality. There's a photosharing service which creates web-based picture galleries, a chat client, a filesharing app which means you don't have to muck about with file uploads, a web server to host your own sites, a media player that can access your library of files from anywhere, and a "fridge" app where you can post notes on friends' virtual refrigerators.

"We invite developers all over the world to use their creativity and imagination to push the boundaries of what is possible with Opera Unite", Opera's CEO Jon von Tetzchener told Pocket-lint. "We are moving closer to our goal of reinventing the Web and are excited to see Opera Unite continue to evolve in powerful and compelling ways".

If you'd like to give it a go, then the beta is available to download now. Once you've got it installed, click the button in the bottom left corner of the browser, and log in or register an OperaID. Then just pick the app you want.
