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/.
