Opera Coming to Android: Gets Flash, Google Gears
Techtree News Staff, Aug 08, 2009 0810 hrs ISTComing soon!
If you thought, Opera Mini was already there for Android eons ago, we are talking about the 'full' Opera browser. Well, Opera Mini does the job, but there are some users who would want to experience the full web, as it is, on their phone browsers. That's where the Opera Mobile comes to your rescue.
So, Opera Mobile for Android, which is expected to make its updated appearance in the near future brings with it full Flash and Google Gears support. The latest build of the browser skips both, so the next update seems to be a major one that is set to integrate these two important features. The current version of Opera Mobile for Android does have Opera Turbo though. Opera Turbo works similar to the compression technology used in Opera Mini. In this case however, you can control, switch off and toggle the browsing pattern according to your needs.
Android already boasts of a nice in-built browser. The addition of Opera Mobile would only give users one more option. The new version of Opera Mini is expected very soon. We do not have the dates of its launch, just not yet!
