Opera Mobile 11.1 for Android has now arrived the Android Market, as one of the most popular web browser, the latest mobile version adds a lot of cool stuffs, and meanwhile fixes some bugs, it could be said the mobile version can absolutely do the exactly same as the desktop one, actually it can do even better than that, it provide a more secure environment for the web surfing users.
As a web browser for smartphones and PDAs, the first version of Opera Mobile was released in 2000 for the Psion Series 7 and netBook. Today, it is available for a variety of devices that run on Android, S60, Windows Mobile, Maemo (labs), and MeeGo (labs). Opera Mobile 10 was released to operators and OEMs on December 10, 2009, as a direct-to-distributor version and was made available on the Opera website on March 16, 2010. It is available on Android, BREW, Windows Mobile, and Symbian/S60 smartphones, and it is in development for Maemo devices.
Opera Mobile uses the Presto layout engine and supports many web standards, as well as Ajax. As of version 9.7, it can use Opera Turbo that compresses web pages via Opera Software's "Turbo" servers, thus reducing download size. Because web pages are compressed, page loading times are improved, and bandwidth consumption is reduced by up to 80%.
The browser can dynamically reformat web pages for small screen, using Opera's Small Screen Rendering (SSR) technology and text-wrapping. Opera Mobile 10 includes a "Speed Dial" feature, which allows the user to add links shown as thumbnail images in a page displayed when a new tab is opened. Once set up, this feature allows the user to more easily navigate to the selected web pages, and visual tabs, that allow the browsing multiple Web sites at one time. It also includes a password manager and pop-up handler, and it supports copy and paste,address auto-complete, zooming, history, and bookmarks. The browser can be used by either using finger-touch or stylus on a touchscreen or with a keypad and can be displayed in portrait and landscape mode.
The latest version doesn’t add anything revolutionary, but instead builds upon the current experience, with fixes for some software bugs and several security flaws, one of which could allow rogue apps access to user information stored in the browser cache. The new features include a new interface looks better on your device and gives Opera Mobile a sleek, modern browser appearance, pinch-to-zoom and smooth panning let you surf in a natural, intuitive way, synchronize bookmarks, Speed Dial and more with your computer or other mobile devices via Opera Link, Twitter and Facebook support is built in, so you can easily share Web content with others, games and free apps can be downloaded from the Opera Mobile Store in Opera Mobile's Speed Dial.
Of course, the update also makes several changes beneficial to all Opera Mobile users, whether on Honeycomb or not. Primarily this comes in the form of a security flaw fix which now isolates Opera’s cache files, making them more secure as they were previously a bit vulnerable to intrusion from potentially malicious apps. Other useful changes include general stability improvements and corrections for some fonts not displaying properly on some devices. A black screen bug was also fixed along with a disappearing text bug.
Other improvements include auto-complete support, auto-suggest for domain search, and enhanced text selection. Overall, the browser is supposedly more stable, and should deliver better performance with the upgrade in the Opera Presto rendering engine. Various fixes are part of update, with font, stability, black screen, disappearing text, and HTML5 issues being resolved across a range of devices. The update is compatible on devices bearing Android 1.6 or higher.
