Internet browsing will stop being a feature for smartphones with prices of hundreds of dollars. Thanks to Opera's new browser, Opera Mini Browser, any of the 700 million phones with prices in the low and moderate segments will become an Internet browsing tool.

Opera Mini Browser works on J2ME (Java 2 Mobile Edition) technology and this
browser's dimensions make it suitable for any mobile terminal, regardless of the amount of memory.

Moreover, Opera Mini Browser has all the features present in such a program: Bookmarks, History and the option to divide the page in several parts for a better viewing.

The technology used by Opera Mini Browser to resize the web pages so that they can be displayed on the cell phone's display is an Opera invention, called SRR (small screen rendering)

Opera has announced its plans to provide cell phone operators, content distributors and Internet companies with personalized version of this browser, which includes the logo of the providing company. The first on the list was Norwegian TV network, TV2 Interactive.

According to the company, downloading the browser is as easy as downloading a ringtone.

I think its fantastic.
We need a good fast and universal browser.
As a web browser gamer: cell phones have been frustrating for me.
Verry few phones can run any browser game.

If we had a company like Opera building the script for all the phones.
Then the web page builders would all have an equal goal to build for.

As it is now...They each have to redesign the web page for each of the phones on the market.
Oper could fix this and I could go play what browser game i want and do it on what ever phone I wanted.
Thanks I have to go to school now and first class is spelling.
