Opera Mobile 9.5 uses Opera’s zoom technology to enlarge content on a Web page.
Opera Software on Tuesday unveiled the latest version of its mobile Web browser for commercial use; the browser includes enhancements like zooming, panning, and Flash support.
Opera Mobile 9.5 uses Opera’s zoom technology to enlarge content on a Web page, and pages can be saved for offline browsing when there isn’t an Internet connection available. The new version also uses Opera’s Presto rendering engine to speed up the loading of pages. Opera said it tweaked the engine to improve performance by accelerating the handling of Web pages, even those coded using JavaScript and Ajax.
Additionally, version 9.5 supports widgets and Flash for accessing popular social networks, such as Facebook and MySpace. Equipment makers and wireless carriers have the option to include Flash Lite 3 with Opera Mobile, giving their customers the ability to watch YouTube videos, for example, according to Opera.
Widgets are mini applications that sit on a mobile device’s home screen and can be accessed with a few clicks. Opera offers the capability to add widgets in the new version. The company’s goal is to provide users with a desktop-like experience on small mobile device screens.
