Opera Mobile 9.5 was recently announced and we can’t wait to take a look at it. More specifically, we can’t wait to experience the new mobile browser in person. With intense competition in the mobile browser market, Opera Mobile 9.5 has its work cut out for it. But, then again, Opera’s consistently rolled out innovative mobile browsers so we’re sure they’re on their game with 9.5.
Opera Mobile 9.5 features iPhone Safari-esque functionality. Tthe full-HTML, touch-based zooming, tabbed browsing, and panning features on the iPhone’s Safari browser set the bar pretty high, and Opera Mobile 9.5 seems to have met that level of browsing excellence.
Here’s a quick look at what Opera Mobile 9.5 will be offering when it hits public beta this summer.
