Today, Opera Software announced the release of Opera Mini, a Web browser that runs on mobile phones, including Palm OS handhelds and Treo smartphones. Opera Mini is available free of charge via an over-the-air WAP download, or for a small fee via SMS. Opera Mini for Palm OS requires the Palm Java Micro Environment.
Opera Mini compresses Web pages by up to 80% and reformats them using Small-Screen Rendering. For the end-user, this means faster browsing and dramatically reduced phone bills for those who pay by the kilobyte for data transfers.
Opera Mini's start page features a Google search box, and the customizable bookmark list makes it easy to save and surf your favorite sites.
