Opera Software just got stronger for two partnership.
First they announced a deal with Yahoo! to bring Opera Mini to more mobile phone users around the world. Under the agreement, Yahoo! will distribute Opera’s Java ME browser via Yahoo! Mobile and also as a standalone download from Yahoo!’s mobile web sites.
In the other news, the company signed an agreement with Vodafone to develop a custom-made version of Opera Mini, which will be available in Vodafone markets across Europe, the Middle East, Asia and Africa. The browser is particularly appealing to customers in developing countries who are likely to experience the internet for the first time through a mobile phone. As a matter of fact, in early trials conducted by Vodafone Egypt, more than 400,000 customers downloaded the product in a month.
Great news for Opera and for those users who so far haven’t been able to try out Opera Mini and experience the full web on the palm of their hand.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
