New Technology - Mobile Internet into Handsets
Today's cellphones converge more and more into hybrids combining voice-centric and data-centric services.
Opera Mini targets Java-capable and WAP-enabled phones and lets them receive Web pages by using a remote server to reformat and compress Internet pages before sending them to the phone.
The new mobile browser enables the consumer to access the Web also on low- and mid-tier phones, which still represent the vast majority. It promises easy installation simply sending a SMS or visiting a link through the WAP browser and the elimination of horizontal scrolling using the
Opera Small-Screen Rendering technology.
For the consumer Opera Mini means a better customer experience, for broadcasters, mobile content providers and the Internet industry higher page impressions and for the operators it's a chance to increase their ARPU.
