Opera Mobile 10 beta for Windows Mobile phones is now out for immediate download on a WinMo phone after the Oslo based Software Company announced the Symbian version of the browser earlier this month. This version for Windows Mobile aims to transform mobile browsing to a desktop-like experience
Opera is working hard to have a unified look across many of its platforms. Opera maintains its powerful arsenal of features in this beta, including Speed Dial, tabbed browsing, a password manager and its super, server-side compressor, Opera Turbo.
“We are unifying our products, so that users get the same experience, no matter the device or which particular Opera browser they are using,” said Jon von Tetzchner, CEO, Opera Software. “With Opera Mobile 10, we are raising the expectations of how a a mobile browser should perform. Today, users require a browser as powerful as the Web, one that can handle their daily tasks as well as their computers. That’s Opera.”
We have an exclusive interview with Jon coming on soon on FoneArena stay tuned. !
