Opera Mini 4.2

release, frontpage, final, community, opera mini 4.2

Good news, everyone! Today we have released the latest version of Opera Mini 4.2. Since the launch of the beta, speed trials have shown that this version gives more than 30% speed improvements for users in the US, due to addition of a new Opera Mini server park in ther United States.

This release also marks Opera Mini’s official availability on the latest version of the Android mobile platform. Opera Mini is now the first Web browser alternative on Android. A technical preview of Opera Mini was previously released for an earlier version of Android in April 2008. Users of Android-powered mobile phones, such as the T-Mobile G1, can now download a beta version of Opera Mini 4.2 and experience a faster and less costly way to browse the full Internet.

To celebrate we feel a visual power demonstration is needed. Enjoy our latest video we've made to launch the world's fastest browser for your mobile phone:

Opera Mini 4.2 ROX :-), but [!!] session of GPRS connection is ended after website is loaded. I pay for every newly-started GPRS session.

La verdad me ha parecido bien pero a mi me gustaria que Opera mini tubiera la posiblidad de establcer una conexion de internet a traves de bluetooth.

osea que Opera mini pueda trabajar con un programita proxi que se instale en nuestra computadora y que desde ella le llegue el internet de nuestra pc al celular usando en nuestro celular opera mini.

eso sera bueno pues estoy como loco busando un programa que haga eso en un lg viewty, ya que en celulares sony ericsson si se hacer empleando Proxy Conextion y Explorer anbos de sony ericsson

Creo que lo único que le falta a opera Mini es que incorpore flash en su última versión.
Será en que en su seguiente versión sí incorporarán flash para opera mini?

Instalé Opera mini 4.2 en una TX de Palm y veo que cuando intento entrar a un sitio tipeando www....... se vuelve a la pantalla de inicio de la Palm y a veces se restaura.

Tengo instalado la maquina de java pero no se cual es el error.

Why i cnt instal opera mini 4.2 to my celphone? Always faileD To conNect internet. Please help..

Opera Mini 4.2 is better than 4.1. It is very useful programm. THANK OPERASOFTWARE FOR THIS UNUSIAL PRODUCT.
But neither 4.1 nor 4.2 support MS Word (*. doc, *.rtf) files. I want to propose interesting idea. Google has mechanism for watching this files on web!

For example, dial something in Google. And find [DOC]. There will be link "in HTML". So, this document (http://www.omczo.org/documents/konkurs_MIM_itogi_lichnost.doc) has thia address (http://209.85.129.132/search?q=cache:yBrps2Jz21oJ:www.omczo.org/documents/konkurs_MIM_itogi_lichnost.doc+%D0%B0%D1%80%D1%82%D0%B5%D0%BC%D0%B8%D0%B9+%D0%BA%D1%83%D1%87%D0%B8%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B2&hl=ru&ct=clnk&cd=3).
You can create this mechanism for Opera Mini!
I want, next version supports DOCs

New opera4.2 is nice, impressive skin changer, good synchronization, but the only new Drawback is that it ends the GPRS for many time and this need to reconnecting for the new session & it takes long time, that is not Good. In Opera 4.1 this type of problem is not occurs. This is the only thing i don't like about opera 4.2.

Plz...Opera Developers debug this Problem......plz

Otherwise Opera 4.2 is ROCK!!!!!!!!!
