Posted on November 3, 2009 10:29 AM

Opera has just announced that they will make Mobile 10 beta for Symbian S60 handsets available, where it will work perfectly fine on Symbian S60 3rd and 5th editions, which means your cellphone doesn't need to have a touchscreen display to get started. Touted to have double the speed of older versions for Symbian, you will also benefit from desktop-like features including Speed Dial and tabbed browsing. [Press Release]

Opera Browser Beats iPhone Safari In Popularity Contest

Posted on June 3, 2009 9:36 AM

It is that time of bragging once again, and this time round the combination of Opera Mobile and Opera Mini proved too much to handle for iPhone’s Safari browser, as Opera's browsers took 24.6% of the total number of Web pages downloaded last month on handsets compared to the 22.3% that Apple’s Safari mustered. Depending on how you look at it, some might argue that iPhone's Safari still comes out tops as Opera has the advantage of its software being distributed through a wide variety of carriers and handsets, while the Safari remains an exclusive software on both the iPhone and iPhone 3G. Nokia takes third place with 17.9% of the market, while the rest...well, the lack of a podium finish doesn't deserve space in the news, eh? :P
