"Opera Mini will be able to empower users of Android-based handsets with access to all of their favorite Web sites with popular features for smooth effects and scalable, tailored viewing."Opera Mini enables Web browsing from handsets by compressing data at a remote server before sending content to the phone applet for rendering. With a simple interface, Opera Mini powers features for desktop-like Web browsing from a mobile phone, including Small Screen Rendering, Zoom, synced bookmarks and integrated Google search. With Opera Mini optimized for Android, open handset developers can include a tested, full Internet experience.
