14 DAY TRIAL // Norwegian software company Opera Software has recently announced that it plans on demonstrating some of its latest mobile apps at CTIA Wireless. Opera will showcase its Opera Mini 5 and Opera Mobile 10 mobile browsers on devices running under Android, Blackerry, iPhone, Symbian S60, Windows Mobile, or J2ME, this being the first ever demonstration of Opera Mini for iPhone.
At the same time, the company will also demo its latest Opera Mini 5 browser developed for Google's Android operating system, offering users the possibility to enjoy fast browsing and a full set of features. The company will bring along the pre-submission iPhone version too, a solution that was displayed for the first time at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona last month.
“Final versions of Opera Mini 5 and Opera Mobile 10 will also be on display on many of today’s most popular handset platforms, including Symbian S60, Windows Mobile 6.5, J2ME and RIM Blackberry. Both products were released earlier this week, bringing Opera’s new user interface and feature set to market,” the software company further notes.
Moreover, it seems that Opera Software won't display only the applications mentioned above at CTIA Wireless, but that it also plans on showcasing a series of additional solutions for the telecoms and mobile industry, such as Opera Widgets and cross-platform solutions. Moreover, it will conduct real-world speed tests on various mobile phones as well, so as to show the new Carakan JavaScript engine in Opera, as well as the Opera Presto 2.5 rendering engine and Opera Turbo compression technology.
Not to mention that the company further plans on discussing the possibility of having widgets available for feature phones too, as well as for other types of limited-capacity devices. Opera Software intends to announce new partnerships too, and Opera Co-founder Jon von Tetzchner will be present on the “Devices – The Competitive OS Landscape” panel.
“Today we see the Web infiltrating all aspects of the mobile industry, from smartphones to feature phones” explains Roy Satterthwaite, senior vice president, Americas, Opera Software. “The Web has become a rich platform for development. For carriers and OEMs alike, the opportunity is now about utilizing existing and future Web technologies to deliver rich content and applications across multiple platforms, while dealing with real-world network conditions.”
