Slicker mobile browsing from Opera

A better Internet browsing experience on mobile phones is promised with the latest version of the free Opera Mini browser from Opera Software.

Version 4.0 is said to offer an enhanced version of the company's Mobile View small screen rendering system, which is supposed to fit any Web page to the right width and adjust the page structure on the fly. 'Browse up and down without having to worry about horizontal scrolling,' the company says.

Users can now also flip between portrait and landscape mode whilst browsing, or else set landscape as the default viewing mode.

Improved support for BlackBerry devices includes 'native BlackBerry menus', which have been designed to invoke the same user-interface as on BlackBerry devices.

 

Users can now access stored 'favourites' Web links saved online in the same way as with the desktop version of the browser. And finally, Opera has created a 'virtual mouse', allowing users to scroll interactively in any direction. The focus automatically snaps to the nearest link.
