14 DAY TRIAL // Norwegian software company Opera Software has just announced the launch of a new version of its Opera Mini 5.1 mobile browser, aimed at devices running under Microsoft's Windows Mobile operating system.
The company launched the new Opera Mini 5.1 browser a few months ago, but did not make it available for this platform at the time.
The long-awaited Opera Mini 5.1 is now available for download for handsets powered by Windows Phone 6.5, Windows Mobile 6, Windows Mobile 5, and Windows Mobile 2003.
“We have worked days and nights to improve on every aspect of the browser. Some highlights include default browser functionality and support for more devices. A big thanks to all our users on Windows Mobile who have waited so patiently for this release,” the company notes on a post on the Opera Mini blog.
The release notes for Opera Mini 5.1 for Windows Mobile include: - Ability to set Opera Mini as default browser on the device. - Support for g-sensor screen rotation on HTC and Samsung devices. - Support for predictive input if the device supports it natively. - Improved page layout on high-resolution screens. - Improved kinetic scrolling. - Alternative installer that works on Windows Mobile 2003 Pocket PC devices. - Text input works on many more devices - A host of bug fixes in Opera Mini browser core for stability and rendering accuracy.
Opera Mini 5.1 was released not too long ago on handsets that run under Google's Android operating system too, as well as on other mobile phones out there.
Through this release, Opera is moving closer towards its attempt to offer a similar browsing experience on various devices, including mobile phones or desktop PCs.
Those of you who are interested in trying out the new solution on your Windows Mobile devices should head to http://m.opera.com/ on the phone to download the browser.
