Additional features include quick and easy mobile shopping, improved design, bookmark speed dials, and more. “Opera Mini has kick-started real mobile Web browsing by enabling non-smartphone owners to surf the full Internet on their phones, just as they do on their PCs,” said Jon S. von Tetzchner, CEO, Opera Software. “Opera Mini 2.0 adds a more personal aspect to mobile Web browsing.
