It's been a very busy week here at Opera, but our developers aren't done yet
Today we released the Opera Mini 6.5.1 update. It is available now in Android Market and will be available on our servers later today. All users are recommended to update.
Just over 3 weeks ago we released Opera Mini 6.5 for Android. The release was the most successful Android Opera Mini release in history! Millions of downloads, thousands of 5 star ratings.
Now the same great features found in that Android release are available for the 100+ Million Opera Mini users on other platforms.
Opera Mini 6.5 will now show you exactly how much data you have spent and saved. A dedicated page, easily accessible from the help menu inside the Opera Mini, keeps count of how much data you are spending and saving.
The number of megabytes saved while using the Opera Mini browser can directly translate into money saved if you are roaming or on a pay-as-you-go plan for data traffic.
For people on capped data plans, this is a handy feature to make sure you don't max out reaching those slow, punishing network speeds you might encounter after using up your allowance.
Did you ever wonder how much data Opera Mini and Opera Mobile saves users? We did too.
Bounce over to Opera.com to check out the "Total Data Saved" counter clock showing just much data Opera has saved users since today's launch.

The Web is what I do:
We also launched Opera Mobile 11.5 for Android today
Opera Mobile is a full browser with client-side support for JavaScript, HTML5, Flash (Android only) and more. In Opera Mini, the browser engine is running on Opera's servers. Web pages are transcoded and compressed up to 90% before being downloaded to the device, making Opera Mini lightning fast and also much cheaper if you are paying per megabyte.
