This is Mini!

A Norwegian online magazine (digi.no) visited Opera last week and wrote an article (Norwegian only) about Opera Mini traffic and our very own server room. We've translated parts of it here (just for you!) and uploaded the pictures to Choose Opera. Simply click on the thumbnail for the bigger version. Enjoy. :smile:

Why Opera?

The article is with Opera's very own Jan Standahl, director of the Opera product management and developer relations team, and Chris Mills, Opera’s developer relationship manager. They talk about why Opera is the better choice and why designers and developers should consider choosing Opera. :up:

They also spill the beans on what we got coming up in the near future in terms of our next desktop browser and other exciting technologies.

We recommend everyone to read the article.
