It has shortcut icons of web pages in the home page apart from option to search or type the URLs, and has completely touch-based UI, replacing the buttons.
The visual search shows preview of the webpages, jut like the ones you get in the Google search for desktop. You can navigate to these results easily just by swiping, and also add bookmark of a webpage to the homepage from the history.
The Opera Ice for Android, iPhone and iPad would be launched at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2013 at Barcelona in February.
