Opera Mini 5?

 Published January 8th, 2008 1:02 PM EST By Daniel Goldman

India’s premier mobile magazine, My Mobile, is already talking about Opera Mini 5 (and 6).

Given that Opera “has been coming out with two editions of the browser every year, it would be safe to assume that we’ll be seeing Opera Mini 5 (if not 6) in 2008”, their cover story says.

I can tell you that the Opera Mini team is working on some pretty nifty enhancements for the upcoming upgrades to Opera Mini 4. I believe Opera Mini will continue to revolutionize and set a gold standard for the mobile Web.

    I wish the next opera comes with a documents reader (winrar,jpg,doc,pdf) and real support for blackberry devices,because even when blackberry use proxy,opera really improves blackberry capabilities,actually I think RIM should include opera mini as a complementary browser for blackberry users.

    the opera mini team should work on support of flash elements in the webpages..most of the websites like youtube, nokia site and many greetings sites have flash elements embedded in them..and opera mini team should work on internal download manager in the software too..

    Flash elements would really be pushing it (even if most the work was done by a mini server and not the actual phone) but an internal browser would not use up resources much. Only thing is sony ericsson phones would require digital signing to prevent irritating drive access prompts. The prompts would be even worse with a built in file browser and doc’s viewer. Those kinds of apps should be kept seperate.

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
