New Opera Mini

Opera Software has released Opera Mini 2.0, a new version of the tiny Web browser that runs on almost every mobile phone. The first version is barely four months old but already has over 2.5 million users.

Opera Mini 2.0 enhances mobile surfing experience by permitting the download of MP3s, images and other Web content directly to the phone.

Opera Mini uses a remote server to pre-process Web pages before sending them to user’s phone. Web content is optimized for device, ensuring fast browsing and a great user experience.

Nokia to open source its mobile browser code

In a bid to encourage the mobile phone industry to standardize on a single Web browser, Nokia on Wednesday released the source code for the mobile phone Web browser it developed last year.

Nokia designed the browser for its S60 line of phones using the same open source frameworks used by Apple Computer for its Safari browser, and adding enhancements designed to improve mobile browsing. Any mobile phone maker or operator can now access the engine that runs the Nokia-developed browser and customize it for their own needs.
