Opera Mini 5 beta for Android released
Opera Software today launched Opera Mini 5, an alternative Web browser for the Android platform.
Opera mobile is known for its efficient data compression algorithm. Up to 90% of data are compressed before sending to the handset. The reduction of amount of data transmitted would improve page loading and speed.
“Opera Mini offers a desktop-like Web browsing experience on a mobile phone, with favorite features such as Speed Dial, tabbed browsing, password manager and bookmarks. With Opera Mini optimized for Android, more people will be able to get a PC-like browsing experience on their mobile handsets.”
New features include
- Speed Dial: displays 9 of your favorite sites.
- Password Manager
- Opera Link: Syncs your bookmarks (and Speed Dial) between your handset and your Opera desktop
Download Opera Mini directly to your Android phone. To download, simply visit m.opera.com/next with the Android browser or search for Opera Mini 5 in the Android Market. For more information, visit http://www.opera.com/mini/next/.
This is great that Opera mini comes for Android.., apart from the fact that the address bar is always showing, but I like it.
