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.”
