Whole Lotta Love for the Mobile Web - Debuting All New Opera Mini 6 and Opera Mobile 11

OSLO, Norway, March 22, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Can't get no satisfaction from the mobile Web? Then you will fall head over heels for the new Opera Mini and Opera Mobile browsers launched today, now also available to cherish on tablets. Opera's mobile browsers are the world's most popular, the weapon of choice for 100 million people worldwide, used on more than 3000 devices. If you still haven't found what you are looking for, there is an Opera out there available for you. Download to your phone from: m.opera.com and don't stop til you get enough.

What's new, pussycat?

    --  Smooth operator: Improved scrolling, panning and zooming make the Opera
        Mini and Opera Mobile browsers the sweetest thing to hit mobile devices
        since the Opera Mini 5 browser.
    --  Pinch-to-zoom: Feel free to twist and shout now that Opera's features
        include true pinch-to-zoom on devices that support pinch.
    --  Sharing: When you find something, let it be ... shared. The new versions
        feature a share button, so you can easily post, Tweet
        (twiddly-diddly-deet), or just shout it out loud on Facebook, vKontakte
        or My Opera.
    --  Now also optimized for tablets: Is it any wonder? Opera for tablets
        brings smooth browsing to your tablet PC with a brand new interface that
        is sure to rock you like a hurricane.

What we say

"If you've lost that loving feeling for the Web on your phone or tablet, don't let it bring you down. Just try one of our browsers," said Lars Boilesen, CEO, Opera Software. "The sun always shines on TV, but the Opera browser shines on more than 3000 devices."

Who are you? The difference between the Opera Mini and Opera Mobile browsers

    --  The Opera Mini browser uses Opera's servers to shake, rattle and roll
        webpages down to a tenth of their original size before sending them to
        your phone. Because the data transferred is smaller, pages arrive faster
        than the speed of sound. On a pay-as-you-go plan, the Opera Mini browser
        dramatically cuts the price you pay, because the data you use is greatly
        reduced. The Opera Mini browser makes any device Internet savvy.
    --  The Opera Mobile browser gives you the whole of the moon on smartphones
        and tablets. The strange magic of HTML5? Check. Full, high fidelity web
        browsing? Check. Sharing the same Opera Presto browser engine found in
        Opera's desktop browser, the Opera Mobile browser is the premier option
        for fast, powerful browsing when on unlimited Internet data plans or
        Wi-Fi.

Availability

    --  The Opera Mini 6 browser brings the fireworks to J2ME, Android,
        BlackBerry and Symbian/S60 phones.
    --  The Opera Mobile 11 browser sings hallelujah on the Android, Symbian,
        Windows 7 desktop and MeeGo platforms.
