As Facebook Rumors Swirl, Opera Plays Up Its Social Cred In New Opera Mini 7 Browser For Basic Phones
Talk about coincidence. Just earlier this week, in a post on Facebook and the possibility of buying web browsing company Opera and facial recognition company Face.com, we highlighted how a new version of Opera Mini would feature much stronger social integration -- specifically aimed at the feature phone segment -- both key points for Facebook. Today, Opera come good with a full release of that Opera Mini browser, Opera Mini 7 (butstill has no official comment on those acquisition reports).As expected, the new browser is aimed not at Apple and Android-based smartphones but more "basic" devices -- specifically those built on Java ME, Nokia's S60 and BlackBerry (yes, Opera categorizes RIM's smartphone basic) -- and Opera is using the release to incorporate some new, key social features. This includes a Smart Page, which provides a one-page summary of news from a user's Facebook and Twitter feeds, directly from the home page of the browser.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/8N2q_fFrIFY/
