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.”

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.
