Opera Software Brings Its Browser to Mobile Phones

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the smart-idea dept.

They have created a small-screen HTML rendering technique that slightly reformats web pages to fit within the bounds of small displays. Some screenshots can be found here along with extra details as to how they do it. A full press release can be found here. As a result, horizontal scrollbars are not needed, and it even features zooming abilities for magnifying web pages."

    Opera already can zoom in and out of pages, it also automatically scales both text and images for you.
    It's a drop down box on the right side of the address bar. Download Opera at Opera.com and check it out!

    It's a neat feature.. useful when pages use an 8 point font and the text is hard to read or when you follow the "Awful Link of the Day" over at somethingawful and have to scale down the 48 point yellow font on an orange background..
