Page 1 of 3 Then banish thy standard phone browser into the cyber dustbin of cellular history, and do yourself a favour by downloading – free of charge (aside from your operator’s data download costs) – the pint sized virtuoso that is Opera Mini 4.1. Available for almost any (but not all) of the world’s many and varied mobile phones, Opera Mini 4.1 is a true mobile browsing revolution that has just become a whole lot better. How, you ask? Well, glad you did, for the answers are immediate, and simple. How about a 50% speed boost in browsing speed and rendering when compared with the previous Opera Mini 4.0? Opera have delivered to a standing ovation. What about faster input of web addresses, something anyone with a phone keypad could instantly appreciate? Opera haven’t needed to yank out the understudy, for their star performer automatically suggests URL completions, making address input easy and intuitive. What about viewing web pages when you’re offline, or are in transit and can’t, for whatever reason, get a mobile signal? Opera Mini 4.1 has the answer by letting you save web pages on your phone for later offline viewing. Need to select a word or phrase in a web page quickly? Opera Mini 4.1 is quick to the draw, simplifying the task with ease – just select ‘find’ from the menu and enter what you need to locate. And online downloads? Forget going back to your ancient, soulless standard phone browser, Opera Mini 4.1 handles the downloading of images, ringtones and other content with aplomb. Jon von Tetzchner, the CEO of Opera, with a name that sounds like it should be up in lights The Met, was full of thanks for the millions of users who have switched to Opera Mini, saying: “More than 44 million people from all over the world have discovered and fallen in love with Opera Mini.” von Tetzcher continued: “Those people are not just the users of Opera Mini, they are also the co-creators and our most valued critics of the product. We have actively talked to our community members in order to build the best Web browser for mobile phones. I strongly believe that the newest version of Opera Mini will be received with much excitement.” So, what was Opera like when we – and a Lithuanian student – tried it? Please read onto page 2. |
