Opera Mini 4: second beta

6th September 2007

Opera Software has released the second beta version of the mobile browser Opera Mini 4, which offers features, previously developed for using in the version for the Nintendo Wii console.
The main innovation of Opera Mini 4 is the improved navigation through web pages. The browsing became more convenient due to increasing the selected parts of the site. There is also a virtual cursor meant for going to links placed on sites. According to Opera, Mini works twice faster than any mobile browser. Mini is based on Java, thus, can be used on any cell phone. In addition, Mini will be absolutely free.
The team of Mini developers think that feedback with the beta version users will make the final product even better. "Mini became popular only because of the support of people who have made it the most popular mobile browser available today." said Jon von Tetzchner, the head of Opera. In comparison with the first beta, the process of setting has been simplified; quality of images has been improved. This version was also added with the familiar BlackBerry menu.
