The free Opera Mini 5.1 browser for Android can now be downloaded from Android Market, featuring improved page layout on high-end Android phones with large screens.
Opera today announced the availability of Opera Mini 5.1 for Android smartphones. In addition to providing speed and cost savings, Opera Mini 5.1 comes with features such as tabbed browsing, password manager, bookmarks and Speed Dial. Opera Mini 5.1 also offers pinch-to-zoom functionality and improved page layout on high-end Android handsets with large screens.
According to Opera Software, Opera Mini is currently used by more than 61 million people on more than 3000 handset models. By compressing data by up to 90 percent before sending content to the phone, almost any handset is able to reach the Web through Opera Mini.
When Opera Software released the Opera Mini browser for the iPhone earlier this year, approximately 1 million iPhone users downloaded the browser during the first 24 hours of availability. Android users can download the free Opera Mini browser from the Android Market or at m.opera.com.
