Use Opera on your desktop? Use Opera Mini on your cellphone? Well it looks like all 6 people who fit those 2 requirements are jumping for joy today. Opera has introduced a new feature called “Link,” no not Zelda. You are now able to keep your bookmarks in sync across yet another closed walled garden. Why they couldn’t use Delicious is beyond me, Yahoo already sponsors their default search engine on the home screen. Full changelog for Opera Mini Beta 4 version 3 below:

  • Added Link support
  • Added Speed Dials
  • Added RSS feed support
  • Added shortcut *+0 for feeds
  • Added shortcuts for speed dials (*+[speed dial number])
  • Added function to ask the transcoders for the title and favicon of a new bookmark or speed dial
  • Stylus devices can now scroll shortcut help overlays
  • Changed “Fit to width” to “Mobile view”
  • Changed “Autozoom” to “Show overview”
  • Low, medium and high image quality setting
  • Images fit better to the screen (no panning)
  • Improved BiDi support
  • Page position and scaling is now preserved after reload of page
  • Stylus devices without pointer motion events should be able to scroll anyway, just not in realtime
  • Faked transcoding progress when using feeds
  • Show numbers in ordered lists
  • Improved stylesheet handling
  • Focus highlight now looks inactive when loading
  • New and improved server side cookie handling

    Nice browser (on the phone that is), have been playing with it for a while now, really like some of the new changes especially the landscape mode option.
