Guest Paul (MVP) Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 Opera have announced Opera 9 for Windows Mobile! From their Press Release... Opera Software today announced plans to upgrade mobile Web browsing by developing Opera 9 for mobile phones in all major platforms. Opera 9 has enriched Web use on the PC with new technologies, and now the leading browser innovator will deliver the same groundbreaking functionality to mobile phones. The upcoming Opera Mobile edition includes the latest in PC browsing features such as Widgets and Intelligent Zoom.Opera 9 on mobile phones will add completely new dimensions to navigation. Users can seamlessly alternate between viewing modes to get a birds-eye perspective or dive into the content they want. Users have the choice to see an overview of a Web page or adapting the page to the width of the screen. As first seen with the Opera browser for Wii, Intelligent Zoom allows users to then zoom in directly to a selected area. Widgets will also debut on mobile phones with the upcoming release of Opera Mobile. These small Web applications running outside of the browser allow users, manufacturers and operators to create and personalize services derived from Web content such as weather and traffic information, news and e-mail. Widgets offer Web applications that are instantly accessible on the phone without having to launch the Web browser, presenting dynamic and engaging content directly to users. Intelligent Zoom: Zoom in directly to a selected area and continue scrolling for a closer view.Grab and scroll: Touch and direct the page up or down on touch-screen devices.Multiple Windows/Tabbed browsing: Use multiple windows for multi-task browsing.Opera Widgets: Small Web applications that users can easily access without having to open the Web browser.Web-address input auto-completion: Reduce input time with an index of address completions.Password manager: The password manager remembers your usernames and passwords so you don't have to.Download manager: View download progress and access all your downloads from one simple transfer manager window.Pop-up blocker: Control whether to block all pop-ups, or open only the ones that you have requested.Bookmarks and History: Keep quick access to your favorites and get back to your last viewed sites.Send link as e-mail, SMS, MMS: Send links to e-mail or as messages directly from the browser. Sounds awesome, and a real step up from the current release - I look forward to it! P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Antoine of MMM/BH Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 Very nice. Since Nokia's Map feature, a lot of browsers are now doing this. Tis quite interesting and good. Opera works quite well on WM5, it will be interesting to see how well it works on WM6 in compairson to the updated IE Mobile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AlanJC Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 Wonder what the costs will be to upgrade from 8.x ;) Am slightly surprised they are going straight to 9 from 8.6, unless they will run the two in parallel, and give v8 users some more updates.
