Opera Mini 4 Beta released!
Tuesday, 19. June 2007, 10:27:54
I've been an avid fan of Opera Mini ever since it was first released. This morning Opera released a beta of the fourth version of the browser, and I've been playing around with it all morning. It's as fast as always (even faster in my opinion) but features some very useable new features.
The first thing you'll notice when opening a web page in Opera Mini is the new Overview Feature. It shows the entire page as a thumbnail picture with a small red rectangle selecting what Opera Mini thinks might be a good place to start reading. If you agree (which you 9/10 times will) just press the 5 button on your phone and Opera zooms in and focuses on the stuff you want. Amazing.
Then there's some smaller do-good features that has been asked for a long time, such as scrolling with the keypad (you can now navigate with the 2, 4, 6 and 8 keys) and an updated rendering engine (the same that's being used on the Nintendo Wii), updated CSS support and even a mouse (!). SSR is still included, so if you prefer to fit the entire page onto the screen width Opera does that just as good as before.
So how do you get it? Just point your phone's slow browser to mini.opera.com/beta/ and download it in a snap. Oh, and don't forget to Digg about it and tell your friends.
