Opera Mini browser in iPhone

Opera Inc announced that it would preview Opera Mini browser for iPhone at the Mobile World Congress show next week in Barcelona, Spain, where it will demonstrate the software to partners and reporters. And then it intend to submit the browser to the App Store.

Opera Min seems to be compatible with requirement for App Store and company chief development officer claims that their product is not from any excluded technologies. Its is a different kind of browser and may not see any conflict with any requirements in the App Store.


Their is no clue on Safari future plan if Apple rejected its Opera mini to be used in its iPhone. If Opera Mini gets in App Store, it could be more than competitive with Safari, as Opera's browser offers features that Apple's lacks, such as multiple tabs and "speed dial" access to frequently-visited sites. Opera Mini uses integrated compression technology, which is designed to reduce wireless network congestion by compressing pages at Opera-maintained servers before they're passed on to the browser. Its claimed that Opera browser is 10 times faster than Safari.
