Linux News: Mobile: Opera Raises Curtain on Mini 5.1 for Android

Linux News: Mobile: Opera Raises Curtain on Mini 5.1 for Android:
Opera Software on Wednesday released its Opera Mini 5.1 browser for the Android mobile platform . . .

With more than 61 million users worldwide, Opera Mini is the world's most popular browser for mobile phones, and it delivers the best Internet experience on more than 3,000 mobile phone models, Opera Software says.

One of its primary advantages over other mobile browsers is that Opera Mini compresses data by up to 90 percent before sending content to the phone, resulting in significantly improved page-loading speeds and reduced data costs for the user.

For example, Opera Mini can display a BBC News page nine times for the same cost it would take most browsers to display it once, its maker claims.

The software was recently released for the iPhone, generating a million downloads during the first 24 hours of availability.

Note: So far, while we have installed Opera Mini to an Android G1 phone, we have been unable to run it.
