The Opera Mini team just released a new beta of Opera Mini 4.

New in this beta is Opera Link (more about Opera Link here) as well as some other improvements.

With Opera Link, you could now access all your bookmarks and Speed Dial sites from the Opera desktop browser directly in Opera Mini. Pretty cool.

Join us tonight for the Rock Opera party in San Francisco, California along with The Binges and The 88 rock bands.

    Mac users download this theme once you install Leopard: http://my.opera.com/brunopensando/skins/get.pl?id=7649

    It’s not the greatest of themes but it’s the only theme to be made specifically for Leopard integration. And it looks very click I attest, but it does have a few problems.

    Found a bug in the beta already (I’ll report this, just pointing it out). I was on my Youtube page (http://youtube.com/profile?user=DMXell) and scrolled down and up and the semi-transparent backgrounds on the boxes disappeared completely in most boxes and became striped in my videos box.

    Are you reffering to Opear Mini, or Opera Desktop?

    Opera desktop, sorry x.x This apparently also happens to fully opaque boxed on Youtube as well.

    So Daniel, is there any hope for us Verizon users ever seeing a BREW version of Opera Mini? There are 50+ million Verizon subscribers in the US, and I’m guessing that many of them have BREW handsets, since only a few VZW models support Java (e.g. BlackBerrys). Now that I have Opera Link on my desktop, I’d love to get it in my hand…

    Joey: Take a look here: http://operawatch.com/news/2006/11/opera-opens-new-poland-office-to-work-on-browser-for-verizon-customers.html

    Opera Mini will be available for BREW.. :)

    Don’t bother with the new 4 update. It is horrible. You now have to scroll, zoom in and out, just to read web sites. The sites are no longer fit into 1 window. Opera Mini 4 is like the Windows Vista of mobile browsing! Useless features, made more difficult to use.

    Joey, NO. Verizon uses BREW, Opera is Java based. You will NEVER, EVER see a free version of Opera on Verizon’s network. It wouldn’t matter how many customers use their network, Verizon doesn’t offer any application for free.

    How does not work with the WebSphere Java implementation? I have a Treo 700p through Verizon (I know, *yuck*), but I also have Java installed (IBM Java VM) so why is it that Opera mini won’t work??

    Very frustrating. Also, have to agree, Verizon won’t do anything “free” even things that other companies include as a part of the services you pay for (and it’s not like Verizon is cheaper than other services).

About Opera


Q: What is Opera?
A: Opera is one of the most powerful Web browsers around. A Web browser is the program that allows you to view Web pages. Opera is well known for innovation for PC browsers and bringing the full web to mobile phones and devices.

Q: Is Opera free?
A: Absolutely free.

Q: Why should I download a browser? Doesn't my computer already come with one for free?
A: It's about getting more out of the time you spend on the internet. Opera is designed to be much faster than these browsers and gives you powerful features that the default browser lacks. Default browsers like Internet Explorer are also more likely to be subjected to dangerous software such as viruses and spyware.

Q: Will Opera keep me safe from fraudulent websites and malicious hackers?
A: According to Secunia, a respected firm that tracks security in browsers, Opera has the best reputation and track record when it comes to browser security. Keeping our users safe from security vulnerabilities, fraudulent websites, and malicious hackers is a top priority for Opera. Opera is maintained by hundreds of engineers, developers and security experts who are constantly looking to make the browser even safer.

Q: Doesn't Opera copy all of their features from other browsers?
A: Absolutely not. In fact, many of the features that are popular in other browsers today were invented and pioneered by Opera a long time ago. Opera invented the precursor to tabs (in 1994), Page Zoom (1994), was the first browser to block pop-up ads (2000), first to add a Search field in the browser toolbar (2000), Sessions (1996), deleting private data (2000), Mouse Gestures (2000), User JavaScript (2005), BitTorrent support (2005), Widgets (2006), Speed Dial (2007), and much more.

Q: Does Opera support extensions, such as those found in Firefox?
A: Much of the functionality provided through Firefox extensions is already built directly into Opera, so you don't have to download additional extensions in Opera. In addition, Opera is highly customizable and supports all standard plug-ins.

Q: Can I also use Opera on my mobile phone?
A: Yes. And your Nintendo Wii, Nintendo DS or almost any connected device and mobile phones. Opera Mobile oftens comes preinstalled from the manufacturers, but if it doesn't you can install Opera Mini which runs on nearly all phones.

Q: This all sounds great, so how do I download Opera?
A: -- Opera on your computer
-- Opera Mini on your phone
-- Opera Mobile on your phone
-- or learn more about Opera at www.opera.com
