Opera Mini for Android released
Opera Software has today announced that the Opera Mini browser for mobile phones is available for Google's Android platform. Opera Mini for Android makes the company's Web experience available to any range of handset built on Android.
"Today we're glad to deliver our mass-market mobile browser to the Android development groups," says Jon von Tetzchner, CEO, Opera Software. "Opera Mini will be able to empower users of Android-based handsets with access to all of their favorite Web sites with popular features for smooth effects and scalable, tailored viewing."
Opera Mini, which is claimed to have more than 40 million users worldwide across mobile platforms, enables Web browsing from low-to-high resource handsets by compressing data at a remote server before sending content to the phone applet for rendering. Opera Mini powers features for real, desktop-like Web browsing from a mobile phone, including Small Screen Rendering, Zoom, synced bookmarks and integrated Google search.
