opera mini, mobile web access, j2me, mobile browser
Our new baby, Opera Mini, was
launched in Norway on August 10 to front TV2's mobile offering. It's a Java-based solution that enables full Internet access on the 700 million Java-based handsets in the world today that cannot run a full browser on the client side. With Opera Mini, you can probably surf the Internet on the phone you have today!
According to Morten Holst at TV2, it has been the
most successful mobile offer ever.

said:
The folks at Opera have delivered the latest version of their mobile browser, this one called Opera mini. The beauty of this little gem is that it's Java based so it runs on any phone with a Java client and lets you hit any HTML site. It overcomes the small screen of the cell phone using their excellent small screen rendering. I tried it on my Moto RAZR and it worked flawlessly. I was able to hit every HTML site I threw at it including heavy lifting sites like the NY Times. This is a really big breakthrough for the mobile space. If I were a handset vendor and carrier, I'd give a call to these folks ASAP and get this thing on my handsets.
After a fantastic response from content providers, operators, handset manufacturers and end-users worldwide, we are putting all efforts into launching Opera Mini globally, and hopefully before 2005 is over!
Check out some of the
news coverage on Opera Mini.
Good times to come!

pocket pc, windows mobile, smartphone
After
launching Opera for Windows Mobile 2003 Smartphone on June 30, the response from users worldwide has been overwhelming. And the fact that
T-Mobile chose to include it on their new Windows Mobile SDAII smartphone says something about the quality of Opera compared to certain native browsers... :-)
More news to come:
A lot of people have been asking when Opera will be available for Pocket PC, and we are working hard on making this happen as soon as we can. In fact, we will have the first TP out very soon. This will be for Windows Mobile 5.0, which I am sure will please a lot of you out there!
UPDATE:
I realize it wasn't clear above: Opera for PPC will of course be available on both Windows Mobile 2003 and 5.0 (or 2005). :-)
