OPERA SOFTWARE: Mobile browsing gets a makeover Opera Mobile 9.5 beta
is released
(M2 PressWIRE Via Acquire Media NewsEdge)
RDATE:17072008
Oslo, Norway -- Opera Software today released the much-anticipated,
first public version of Opera Mobile 9.5 beta. A powerful foreshadowing
of what is to come, this beta takes mobile browsing speed and features
to a new level, complete with visual effects and a new look. Download
the new beta from http://www.opera.com/products/mobile/.
Opera has changed the face of its mobile browser in this beta release.
As with the latest version of Opera Mini, Opera Mobile 9.5 beta now
defaults to page overview mode, allowing the user to view the entire
Web page and instantly recognize the Web site. With panning and zooming
options, the user is able to focus on specific page content. Opera also
introduces a sleek, new user interface for easier navigation.
"Our fans have been eager for the release of Opera Mobile 9.5 since it
first appeared at the Mobile World Congress this year," says Jon von
Tetzchner, CEO, Opera Software. "We are now answering the call of the
people and delivering what we proudly proclaim to be our best Opera
Mobile browser to date. It is a totally new user experience."
Developers go cross-platform
With developer needs at the heart of this first beta release, Opera
Mobile 9.5 includes several features to enable easier development on
the mobile platform.
Opera Dragonfly, Opera's developer tools, officially goes
cross-platform with this release. It allows developers to debug
JavaScript, inspect Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and the Document
Object Model (DOM), and view any errors, making development for the
mobile phone even easier.
Your quick reference guide to new Opera Mobile 9.5 beta features:
Faster - Opera has always been among the fastest browsers - if not the
fastest - available. Opera Mobile 9.5 beta continues this fine
tradition with improved performance over Opera Mobile 8.65.

full Web page viewing and allows users to pan and zoom into their
desired content easily.
Improved user interface - Opera has completely renovated its mobile UI.
Cleaner and more intuitive, the new UI is designed for quick and easy
navigation.
Opera Dragonfly - Use your Opera desktop browser to debug sites on your
mobile phone through the Opera Mobile 9.5 debug menu.

compliant browser available, and the company remains steadfast in its
commitment to make the Web accessible for all.
