Opera Mini 4.2 released
Since the launch of the beta version of Opera Mini 4.2, the company says that speed trials have shown that this version gives more than 30% speed improvements for users in the US, due to the addition of a new Opera Mini server park in the USA.
This release also marks Opera Mini’s official availability on the latest version of the Android mobile platform.
Opera Mini is now the first Web browser alternative on Android. A technical preview of Opera Mini was previously released for an earlier version of Android in April 2008.
Users of Android-powered mobile phones, such as the T-Mobile G1, can now download a beta version of Opera Mini 4.2 and experience a faster and less costly way to browse the full Internet, the company adds.
"With Opera Mini 4.2, we are showing the world that Opera never gets complacent. We will always be improving our product, adding speed, new functionality and features, and ensuring that it is accessible by all," says Jon von Tetzchner, CEO, Opera Software.
"Opera Mini 4.2 adds more language versions and offers added skin selections to personalise the look and feel of the browser.
"Opera Mini is renowned for its speed, as data is compressed before it is sent to the phone. This helps to keep end-user costs low, since the data delivered is kept to a minimum," he adds.
