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.
Oslo-based browser maker Opera has released a new version of its browser optimised for mobile phones called Opera Mini 4. According to Opera, the new broser enables users see the page exactly as it appears on their computers. Users can zoom into the pages or select small screen rendering to eliminate horizontal scrolling.
Opera Mini 4 is a free download, over the air, to
phones from http://www.operamini.com/ and Opera claims the browser can
be used on almost any mobile phone. Opera Mini is also claimed to
automatically reduce the size of the transferred pages, so Web sites
load faster while reducing the cost of surfing.
"Two years ago, we introduced Opera Mini to the world because we wanted
to bring the Web to users everywhere. Today, Opera Mini is the world's
most popular mobile browser," says Jon von Tetzchner, CEO, Opera. "As a
result, the mobile Web is now a mass phenomenon. Opera Mini 4 raises
the bar for user-friendly access to the Web on any mobile phone,
anywhere in the world."
"We've had a lot of help from the community to get us ready to release
Opera Mini 4 to the world," says Oleg Tukh, product manager for Opera
Mini. "Now that it's ready and free to download, anyone can discover
the beauty of Opera Mini and enjoy the best Web experience available on
almost any regular mobile phone. We're excited to share this with
everyone."
Opera Mini is claimed to be the most popular mobile Web browser, with
26 million cumulative users viewing more than one billion Web pages per
month. Opera aims to cash in on the explosive growth in mobile browsing
in the past 12 months as more of the world's population browses the Web
with mobile devices.
Opera Mini is available as a free downoad from a phone's current Web browser pointed to http://www.operamini.com/.
