Opera Mini 2.0 Aims To Simplify Mobile Commerce

Opera has released Opera Mini 2.0, which allows downloads of files and removes a step from the process of buying mobile content. When a content provider requires a customer to send a particular word via text message Opera Mini 2.0 will send the message when a user clicks on the link to buy it — so the user doesn’t have to exit the WAP page and go to the messaging menu. “In order to enable the service, content providers must include specific scripts on their Web sites. The sites will then detect when a visitor is using Opera Mini 2.0 and enable the shortened buying procedure.”
