Opera Mobile

Today we launched the Opera Mini eBay edition in a partnership with eBay. We are together offering a fully customized and eBay branded version of Opera Mini, giving eBay Germany's 20 million customers the opportunity to browse, bid and sell using their mobile phones, just like they do on their PCs.

This deal is of strategic importance for Opera Software, and it shows how advanced Web based services can reach the mobile mass market with their existing Web sites through Opera Mini. Designing a mobile specific, browser based solution may look prettier and you'll be able to remove some of the content that only clutters the small screen. But that costs money, and for companies who, for various reasons, do not wish to spend much right now, Opera Mini offers a compelling value proposition.

In the Opera Mini eBay Edition we have branded the UI, added an eBay search box and a cached My eBay page to give users quick, one-click access to all of eBay's content. In addition, eBay has done some optimization work on their end to make sure the service runs smoothly and that the experience is great. People no longer have to sit by the computer to follow their auctions!
