Opera Software has released a beta version of its Opera Mini 5 mobile browser for Android. Opera Mini 5 offers features including tabbed browsing, a password manager, bookmarks, and visual bookmarks known as & Speed Dial,& but there’s no multi-touch support yet, according to the company. Opera Mini, touted as the “world’s most popular mobile browser,” was launched in January 2006 for Windows Mobile as well as other phones, running via a JVM (Java virtual machine). The Mini 5 version appeared for JVM and BlackBerry phones last fall, and last week appeared in a native Windows Mobile version that no longer requires a JVM.

Now, Opera Mini 5 runs on Android natively too, according to Opera Software. The browser’s features now appear to be closely aligned with the company’s previous mobile offering, Opera Mobile, which has been available only for Windows Mobile and Nokia handsets.
