The Opera Mini team is set to release its first major update to the popular Opera Mini 4 browser. The update, Opera Mini 4.1, is due out this week.
Opera Mini 4.1 adds the following new functionality:
- Ability to search for text within a webpage
- URL suggestions based on bookmarks and browsing history
- Ability to download files directly to the phone (only on phones with JSR-75 support)
- Ability to save webpages for offline use (only on phones with JSR-75 support)
A beta version of Opera Mini 4.1 has been out since early April.

why wasn’t dragonfly announced here?

yeah, seriously, when Daniel was the single admin of the site, there were almost daily or at least weekly updates, now when there are 6 bloggers it seems Opera Watch is just rehashing the infrequent Opera’s press releases…

Dane, sorry to disappoint you. I can’t speak for the other bloggers, but I have a full time job, and don’t have much time for blogging on Opera Watch. Having said that, I hope for Opera Watch to pick up on the posting rate.

@test, Dane: Like Daniel, most of us have full time jobs as well. I can only speak for myself when I say I chose not to blog about Dragonfly because I did not keep up with exactly what it could do. Developer tools are not my forte, and so I did not want to write about it and risk giving out inaccurate information (or just sounding stupid
). You are right, though, that one of us should have at least mentioned its release here. Which leads to my last point: This “blogging by committee” approach is still new us. Give us some time to work out the kinks!

With risk of hijacking this thread further, I didn’t want to post here about Opera Dragonfly. As I was working on the launch of Opera Dragonfly, the information wouldn’t exactly be coming from a neautral source, plus I’d already written about Opera Dragonfly coming soon on this blog no so long before. I also write for my own blog, CSS3.info and the new Opera Dragonfly blog, and the copy for the Opera Dragonfly web site, so if I posted it’d just be rehashing of information that is already out there. I prefere not to reword what I’ve alread wrote a few times already, and get some fresh input from someone not as close to the release, that can say how they see it from an outsiders aspect.
I will try to post on here when we have some new information to share however.
