A new, smaller version of the Opera Mini has been released recently for use in BlackBerry, Treos and other PDA devices. Opera Mini was first released for mobile phones in February of this year.
Opera Mini is a revolutionary free browser used in mobile phones which gives users the same feel as regular browsers on PCs. The new version is usable for BlackBerry and Palm Treo users. It boasts of faster internet access and better user experience. It not only processes internet pages faster but also uses less memory and data.
This makes it a very efficient mobile browser as it reduces costs for data transfer and storage for consumers with limited bill plans. Moreover it is a free download and easy to install and use. The other feature of the new Opera Mini is having Google as the default search engine. But the users need to have the internet service option enabled from their providers to use Opera.
Opera Mini uses less memory and data through a component on the server which compresses Web pages thereby reducing the amount of data being transferred. Consequently it benefits the user because data transfer amount also adds to mobile bills.
Since its release in February, Opera Mini has been very widely used boasting of over 7 million users worldwide. Many of the world's leading mobile phone service providers have also endorsed it by providing it by default on some of their models. The main advantage with Opera Mini is that it provides as fast or faster internet access on mobile devices as on a regular PC but with lower memory and data usage levels.
Opera 9 and Opera Mini are the products of Oslo, Norway based Opera Software. They specialize in web browsers and have carved a niche for themselves in this field. Their web browsers work on multi platforms, are small in size and are performance and standard compliant. Hence users are assured of speed, safety and a great experience.
