Meiyang Chang As Goodwill Ambassador for Opera Mini Smile Campaign

As first reported on the Opera People Watch blog, Meiyang Chang, finalist-turned-host of the Indian Idol TV contest, has become the goodwill ambassador for Opera Software’s Smile with Opera Mini campaign. This initiative was launched in partnership with the Smile Foundation and will see Rs 5 being donated to the foundation for every download of the Opera Mini mobile web browser from opera.com/swom/ towards the education of under privileged children. Chang adds, “It gives me immense pleasure to be the goodwill ambassador for the “Smile with Opera Mini” campaign. To this end, I pledge all my support towards bringing a big smile to those who will shape our tomorrow.”

Chang has also created a special anthem for the campaign called “Kuch Dino Se”. In his words, “It’s a subtle, philosophical look on life as to how all of us are stuck focusing on mundane things every single day. Then, there is something exciting that comes out, and it changes your life. In my case it has been the association with Smile kids.”

A technology enthusiast himself, Meiyang Chang believes that a mobile phone and the internet are the best companions for a curious mind.

Chang is an active social media enthusiast and believes India still needs better internet speeds for people to realize the potential of the platform. He noted that many users across the country face strong barriers to internet usability; but he was quick to add, “Opera Mini is one of the fastest browsers. I usually hit ‘O’ whenever the curiosity bug inside me is hungry for more information. It works great, especially when I’m traveling and in areas where the connectivity is weak.”

Approved

Opera Mini was officially approved for the iPhone and iPod Touch on April 12, 2010, 20:56:00 UTC.

Opera Mini, with more than 50 million users worldwide, enables fast mobile Web browsing by compressing data by up to 90 percent before sending content to the device, resulting in significantly improved page loading. Users of the app will notice an uptake in speed, especially on slower networks such as the 2G Edge network.

Surfing the Web with the Opera Mini App on iPhone and iPod touch will also help users save money because of its data compression capabilities. This will hold especially true while the user is incurring roaming charges.

Our iPhone Countup campaign contest winners are wearymadness and citizenzaqx who guessed that Opera Mini would be approved on April 12, at 21:00:00 UTC. Congratulations to both of them! party

The Opera Mini App is available for free from the App Store on iPhone and iPod touch or at www.itunes.com/appstore/.
