Bangalore: Opera has announced two new versions of its Opera Mini and Opera Mobile browsers for smartphones, feature phones, and tablets.
The version six of Opera Mini is available for Android, BlackBerry, Symbian/S60 phones and J2ME brings. It also provides improved speed, pinch-to-zoom capability on its supported devices, rendering smoother scrolling. It also features a share button with which you can easily share a webpage to Facebook or Twitter in the new browser.
Opera Mobile 11 is available for Android, Symbian and MeeGo & Maemo (lab releases) smartphones. It offers a full support of HTML5 and provides fast, powerful web browsing provided your smartphone has an unlimited internet connection or Wi-Fi. The fully featured browser also has the Adobe Flash player plug-in and the Opera Presto engine from Opera's desktop browser. It also provides an optimized version for tablets with screens larger than 5-inches.
Proxy servers are used to compress and reformat Web pages before they get transmitted to the phone in Opera Mini. It accelerates download speed and subscribers without unlimited data contracts can save money. But Opera Mobile functions like a traditional browser sans any proxy servers.
The company did not release the browser versions for Apple's iPhone and iPad and said the users of those devices to stay tuned.
