Opera Mini 7 For Android Out Today: A Fightback For Web Browser Leadership?
Earlier this month, Opera and Android briefly made headlines together when one analytics firm found that Google's OS, Android, had finally overtaken Opera as the world's largest mobile browser. Today, the two are in the news again for a slightly different reason: Opera is releasing the newest version of its popular Opera Mini browser for the platform -- one way for Opera to claw back some share on Android, currently the biggest smartphone platform in the world.The new version of the browser is something that Opera had hinted was in the works back in February, when it announced deals to further its reach in the area of mobile payments. As with that news, today's release is another example of how mobile browser developers are looking to add more features to make their products more like native platform experiences. The release comes at the same time that Opera has also released a new edition of its browser for Symbian.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/r2okKDtR9rU/
