Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
This is unlike the Skyfire browser that can play YouTube videos in the browser window, but with Opera Mini available worldwide (unlike Skyfire which is only available in the US, Canada and the UK), and with many phones able to play YouTube and other videos in the native video player, being able to make videos play at all via Opera Mini is a welcome addition.
Opera describes it as being “improved real time streaming protocol (RTSP) handoff” and says it makes many more phones “web video” compatible.
More than 90 language versions are also available, truly making Opera Mini a mobile browser for all.
The latest new languages include Amharic, Armenian, Assamese, Bengali, Gujarati, Kannada, Kirghiz, Lingala, Marathi, Malayalam, Mongolian, Oriya, Punjabi, Pashto, Sinhala, Tajik, Tamil, Telugu, Urdu, Uzbek, Khmer, Kashmiri, Lao and Turkmen.
Opera Mini also now supports the “Opera Link” link feature, which lets you synchronise notes between the desktop version of Opera PC and Opera Mini on your phone, while existing features include the ability to save web pages for offline viewing, amongst others.
Opera says that “21 million unique users browsed five billion pages in October 2008 alone, totaling a remarkable 490 percent increase since October 2007. Millions of people have already discovered the power of Opera Mini; it’s time for the rest of the world to enjoy the Web on the small screen.”
