Opera Mini 5 Beta for Android Arrives

After recently embracing the iPhone platform, Opera has now brought its Opera Mini 5 beta mobile browser to the Android Platform. With that, Opera Mini 5 Beta mobile web browser now runs on all major mobile operating systems - Symbian, iPhone, BlackBerry, Windows Mobile and now Android.

Carrying the same fast browsing experience with help of Opera Turbo technology the Opera Mini 5 Beta is already available for free from Android Market. 

Just like for other mobile operating systems, Opera Mini 5 Beta will bring same set of features for Android Platform. The mobile web browser is claimed enable faster web browsing, thanks to the up to 90 percent compression of the web pages at the Opera server, before it is sent to the mobile browser. This virtually guarantees you a fast desktop like browsing experience. Opera Mini 5 beta has Tabbed browsing, Speed Dial, Download Manager and Opera Link features along with the touch interface interactivity. The browser also has a Password manager so that you don't have to take pains of feeding credentials several times. We wonder if Mozilla's Fennec aka Firefox for mobiles would ever measure up for all mobile OS platforms anytime soon.
