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.”

Sony M608c Phone

Documents available at the FCC show a recently approved Sony Ericsson M608c, a UIQ3 based all-in-one phone. The Sony M608c comes with a USB data cable and supports Memory Stick Micro (M2) for expanding memory. It features the familiar Jog Dial to scroll lists, doubling up as volume control when using it as an audio player.

A dual function keyboard is present on the phone, making it easier to enter text thanks to the QWERTY layout. A stylus takes care of recognizing your handwriting. The full-fledged web browser on the phone allows you to subscribe to RSS feeds as well.

The Sony M608c includes an advanced media player that handles playback of both audio and video files, and the phone is compatible with PlayNow service. In addition, both QuickOffice and PDF+ are pre-installed.

For now, the phone is set for the Chinese market - but it could hit other countries soon.
