Coming Soon To a Screen Near You: Opera Mobile 10

The popular Internet browser Opera has unveiled the latest version of its software for mobile phones which run on the Symbian operating system.

The beta version of Opera 10 is now available from the company’s website, as they address the final tweaks before the official version is released.

Some of the main features that the browser boasts include optimisation for those who are using both touch screens and keypads, addressing the difficulties that software companies have faced in light of the deviation from the ‘one size fits all’ model.

Statistics have shown that the browsing experience using Opera Mobile 10 is now 50% faster than it was before for those who are using a Nokia mobile phone with Symbian installed. This comes as the new browser has tried to compress web pages by up to 70% to make web browsing faster whilst also boosting the compatibility that mobile browsers have with websites which are designed for use on a desktop computer.

Jon von Tetzchner, who is the CEO of Opera Software, had this to say ahead of the beta version being available for download from their website: “This beta continues our work to extend the desktop Web experience to mobile phones, allowing users to surf the Web without limitations, even while on-the-go. No matter the device in use, Opera delivers a faster, easier and hassle-free Web experience.”

There is no confirmation as to when the full version of Opera Mobile 10 will be released to the public.
