Opera has just introduced the
latest version of the Opera Mini for devices based on the aging Windows
Mobile platform. Opera Mini 5.1 for Windows Mobile brings about only a
handful of improvements but those are still enough to make it worth
downloading.
First of all, now you can set
the Opera Mini as your default web browser. The new Opera Mini 5.1 for
Windows Mobile also adds support for smartphones with high-resolution
displays plus page layout and font rendering are both improved. Screen
auto-rotation is now supported too and so are some advanced
configurations.
As for the core Opera Mini
functionality, it has remained untouched - server side rendering and
ultra fast page load times on slow connections. After all, it made this
web browser so popular.
The new Opera Mini 5.1 for
Windows Mobile is compatible with devices running Windows Mobile 2003
SE, 5.x or 6.x. If you happen to own one of those and want to give the
new web browser a try, just type m.opera.com in your phone's current web browser.
