Fueling speculation that Opera is still a takeover target by the giant search engine, Reuters reports Google has created a special version of its Gmail e-mail service that provides mobile phone subscribers with quick access to their e-mail.

It's nice to see something available in the U.S. instead of just for viewers of Oslo, Norway, TV stations!

Details on the mobile e-mail service currently are only available to U.S. cellphone users.

The service works on the subset of more advanced mobile phones that offer an Internet browser. Users can view attached photos and documents from their phone, and reply-by-call to people whose phone number is stored in their Gmail account.

Opera denied today that it had been approached by Google about being acquired for its mobile device technologies.

According to the Reuters report, Gmail messages are automatically synchronized between their mobile phones and computer accounts, regardless of whether Gmail is accessed from Gmail Mobile or the Web.
