26.11.2008Hitting 1 Billion Page Views, Opera Mini Targets iPhone
Driving the mobile Web experience onto mid- and low-end cell phones, Opera Software is expected to announce this week that its
Opera Mini Web browser has hit the 1 billion monthly page views milestone. Opera Mini is
designed to automatically reformat conventional Web pages for display on any Java-enabled mobile device.
With its improved
usability and rapid downloads, Opera Mini 4.0 (recently released in beta version) is being explicitly touted as a free alternative to the rich
Internet capability of the costly iPhone from Apple.
The Norwegian browser developer has also launched a push into the U.S.
market, said Tatsuki Tomita, Opera's senior VP of consumer products, who recently relocated to Mountain View, Calif. from Tokyo. Unlike its sister
production Opera Mobile, which runs on smartphones with full operating systems, Opera Mini is specifically designed to operate on the vast majority of
conventional cell phones. ..

believe that this is the date the final for Opera 10 will be released, but others say that, however much promise that new version holds, it is
unlikely to "reinvent the Web." Others speculate that it has something to do with Turbo, a manner of compressing web pages so that they load faster.
