Opera Mini 3.0: Web & RSS Browser, Photo Sharing and more, all in one free Java ME application
firt | 29 November, 2006 18:12
In a recent post, I mentioned that Opera Mini 2.0 was one of the best Java ME application User Interface. Now, Opera (the Web Browser Company) releases Opera Mini 3.0, a free version of the mobile browser for Java ME devices. Don't confuse this application with "Opera Mobile", a commercial Symbian application that came with some S60 devices in the past.
Opera Mini is an (x)HTML/JavaScript Browser for your phone with the capabilities of browse any "big-sized" webpage, adapting and rendering that page to the screen constrains in a mobile phone. It uses an Opera remote server to pre-process and compress web contents and images to reduce client-side execution and data transfer.
It supports Bookmarks, downloads, history, cache, search features, many sizes of screen font and many languages.
In this new version, Opera Mini goes to a new dimension offering in the same package:
- RSS Feeds: you can view and subscribe to any RSS in the web. RSS is an standard syndication format that is available right now in every news and blogs sites (the famous orange icon). Now, when you browse a web that contains an RSS channel, the first link you will see in the page is for the RSS viewing.
- Photo Publishing: now you can browse to your fotolog, blog, forum or webmail, take a photo from your mobile camera and upload it to the website, all done from Opera Mini.
- Content Folding: this is a feature that groups lenghtly menus to save scrolling length. You will have a [+] icon to expand the menu links bar.
- HTTPS: You can now browse secure websites, from Opera mini, like homebaking, webmails, stores.
- Faster Navigation: If your phone and mobile operator supports TCP sockets, Opera Mini maintains an open connection to the Opera Server to accelerate communication.
Opera team: Excelent work. We'll expecting more features in next versions.
Nokia users: you must download this application, it's free and you can download it from mini.opera.com from your mobile phone, or receive it from a SMS making a request in www.operamini.com where you can also find a web simulator for the application.
