Opera Mini Mobile Browser Officially Released

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the fingers-in-a-few-more-pies dept.

worb writes "The tiny mobile browser Opera Mini was officially released worldwide today. Opera is known for its PC and mobile browsers, but even the cell phone version Opera require more memory than most phones today are capable of. Opera Mini works by passing pages through Opera's servers to strip them down before they are displayed on the phone. Also, the Register has a story on how this actually means that Opera now offers a reason not to buy a smartphone, a market Opera currently has a strong foothold in."

    Any idea when the new version of Opera Maxi (i.e. normal Opera) will be coming out? 9 has been in beta for a long time, and I'd like to see Gmail work right for once.

    Sure, you can get it right here.

    (Sorry, couldn't resist, I got a bunch of the same shit talking about aieeeee in another thread) :)

    shut up fag. If I want to develop a website that you can't view because you are too avante garde to use what everyone loves to use - then it's your loss. Good riddance. Maybe you can enjoy your web through Konqueror or some other linux garbage. I really don't care about the 2 percent people like you represent. And yes, you'll be seeing red when I tell you I am a MAJOR web developer.

    This is just what I always wanted: A poorly written browser nobody uses on a platform nobody finds comfortable!
