Norwegian browser developer, Opera Software, is inviting anyone to sign up as a beta tester for the upcoming version of Opera Mini, its web browser for mobile devices.
The company says that "enhanced navigation is the next step in the evolution of mobile Web browsing, [and] that's exactly what Opera's developers are exploring for the next version of Opera Mini."
The Opera Mini mobile Web browser was launched worldwide in January 2006. It is available both as a free download from www.operamini.com as well as through pre-instalments on selected handsets from several operators and handset manufacturers including T-Mobile and Nokia. Opera claims that more than 15 million people have downloaded and used Opera Mini to browse the Web, making it the most popular downloadable Java software for mobile phones.
Any Java-enabled phone can run Opera Mini. Web pages are compressed on a remote server, operated by Opera, and delivered to the phone for fast Web browsing. According to Opera, people in Russia and the United States are the most prolific users of Opera Mini, with the Chinese a close third.
Anyone interested in being a beta tester is invited to submit their email address. Testers will be notified by email at a later stage and asked to submit their views of the Opera Mini beta via an online form.
