OSLO, Norway and BARCELONA — Opera Software today

announced plans to upgrade mobile Web browsing by developing Opera 9 for

mobile phones in all major platforms. Opera 9 has enriched Web use on the PC

with new technologies, and now the leading browser innovator will deliver

the same groundbreaking functionality to mobile phones. The upcoming Opera

Mobile edition includes the latest in PC browsing features such as Widgets

and Intelligent Zoom.

Opera 9 on mobile phones will add completely new dimensions to navigation.

Users can seamlessly alternate between viewing modes to get a birds-eye

perspective or dive into the content they want. Users have the choice to see

an overview of a Web page or adapting the page to the width of the screen.

As first seen with the Opera browser for Wii, Intelligent Zoom allows users

to then zoom in directly to a selected area.

“We are impressed with the constantly evolving experience of browsing the

Web,” says Jon von Tetzchner, CEO, Opera Software. “Bringing Opera 9 to

mobile phones will present new capabilities in mobile Web services that will

be exciting to see defined.”
