Opera Software joins the LiMo Foundation

Opera logoOpera Software announced that its has joined the LiMo Foundation. Their idea is simple – Opera wants to have its mobile browser(s) running on every possible platform. That being said, we’ve already seen them releasing Opera Mini for Android, and their browser is also available on a range of feature phones. Guess, this means that some of the future LiMo-powered handsets may come with Opera Mini or Opera Mobile pre-installed — something the end-users can certainly appreciate.

Commenting on the announcement, Opera Software’s Jon von Tetzchner said: “We have always prided ourselves on producing a standards-based browser with the goal of running on any platform. Linux Mobile is a growing platform that epitomizes our ideals of a unified mobile Web where standardization reigns industry-wide. We look forward to joining forces with other LiMo members to keep mobile technology moving forward.”
