Opera is rounding out their OEM Opera Mobile offerings with a new version of the mobile web browser for smartphones running the Android operating system. If you’re not a smartphone maker with Android wares in the pipeline or a wireless carrier with plans to offer customized Android phones in the future, this news doesn’t affect you directly, but it does set the stage for future Android smartphones running the Opera Mobile browser. And, going forward, Opera will be using the same Opera Mobile user interface across all supported platforms – a “unified UI,” so to speak.

Smartphone makers like HTC have been bundling the Opera Mobile browser on their Windows Mobile handsets – Symbian and BREW to a lesser extent – for a while now, while their Android phones were stuck using the vanilla Android browser. We’ll probably see new Android offerings running the Opera Mobile browser at CES Las Vegas 2010.
