Opera Mini is a web browser designed primarily for mobile phones,
smartphones and personal digital assistants. Until version 4 it used
the Java ME platform, requiring the mobile device to run Java ME
applications. From version 5 it is also available as a native
application for Android, bada, iOS, Symbian OS, and Windows Mobile. Opera Mini is offered free of charge, supported mainly through deals with mobile operators to have Opera Mini pre-installed in phones, and other sources of revenue such as search advertising deals, licensing and paid bookmarks and Speed Dial placement.
Opera Mini was derived from the Opera web browser
for personal computers, which has been publicly available since 1996.
Opera Mini began as a pilot project in 2005. After limited releases in
Europe, it was officially launched worldwide on January 24, 2006.
Opera Mini requests web pages through
Opera Software’s servers, which process and compress them before sending
them to the mobile phone, speeding up transfer by two to three times
and dramatically reducing the amount of data transferred, chargeable on
many mobile phone data plans. The pre-processing increases compatibility with web pages not designed for mobile phones.
On November 2011, Opera reported 144.6
million unique Opera Mini active users and 88.5 billion page views
served during that month. This represented an 80.6% increase since
November 2010.
This version of Opera Mini is for Symbian 3rd Edition Mobile Phones.
