Opera Mini Browser Running On The iPhone
YouTube user slicedcheddarcheese has posted a video of Opera Mini 4.1 beta running on the iPhone.
Opera mini 4.1 works in this way:
- You enter the website address on your cellphone.
- The website info will be sent to Opera’s servers.
- The servers will download and compress the whole website for you(compresses up to 90%!), then it sends the website to your handset, making internet browsing much more cheaper and faster.
Wired had a chance to preview the new browser and said Our first impression? It’s fast. While I’ve always found the Symbian platform rendered Opera Mini’s interface somewhat slugglishly, putting a damper on the browser’s lighting-fast network performance, on the iPhone Opera has finally found a platform to do justice to its nimble web-slinging.
Take a look at the video below…
