After releasing an improved version for the Android devices (the one Stefan likes so much), Opera Software is going for the, let’s face it slowly dying, Windows Mobile community. The new version of the popular mobile web browser for Microsoft’s mobile platform packs several important enhancements, including:
- The ability to set Opera Mini as the default browser
- Support for devices with larger and high-res screens
- Improved page layout and font rendering
- Support for accelerometer (for auto-rotation)
- Advanced configuration for power users
Rest of the features remain unchanged, hence you can expect the same fast page load times and compression that will save you some cash on mobile data.
Opera Mini 5.1 is available as a free download for Windows Mobile 2003 SE, 5.x and 6.x smartphones. To download it, simply point your existing mobile browser to m.opera.com and take it from there.

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.
