Opera's move from the Presto rendering engine to WebKit has forced the company to restructure its development teams.

A leak from within Verizon's internal systems has set a launch date for Samsung's 4G LTE hotspot. Known through tips as the Presto, the SCH-LC11 should reach online and retail on March 31.
