Opera Mini is one of the most used mobile browsers in the game, allowing millions of people to browse through their favourite pages. Well, the Android edition of the browser got an update to version 5.1. The update improves many areas, including some of the ones peopel had problems with before.

One of the new feature is the fact that now you can leave the app and return to see all your opened tabs. In earlier versions you would have had to start over every time you close the application. With this new update you can even set Opera Mini as your default browser. Before you had to use third-party applications to be able to do that. Now you won't have anymore. Pinch-to-zoom is another feature included, but it's far from the one on iPhone, so here Opera has to make improvements.

After launching Opera Mini 5.1 upgrade yesterday, Opea is launching another software update today, and we talk about the same Opera for Mobile, but now is the one for Symbian S60, not the one for Android. The first beta of Opera Mobile 10.1 is now available to download. Some of the new features include accelerated browsing speed and support for geolocation. Speed Dial, tabs in the browser, Opera Link and Turbo are also included in this beta version.

The software update is available for both 3rh and 5th edition S60 smartphones. You can download it by visiting m.opera.com/next from your phone.

Opera Mini, maybe the best mobile browser out there, just got an incredible 2.6 million users on iPhone in not more than two weeks since it's been released. The release dat was on 13th April and Opera announced this morning that users have been run the new version on iPhone 2.6 million times until 30th April. We do not have statistics about this period right now, but I assume that Opera reached the 3 million milestone until today.

The mobile phone web browser is one of the most used out there, and not just on iPhone. I even use it, but not on iPhone, but on Nokia N95. It's pretty sure the best out there because it offers an arguably good experience. One of the things that I don't like about the new version is, though I like Opera Mini a lot, the fact that on the frontpage there are some links that you can't change. I mean the Opera Webpage, BBC and some other ones. 

Working on most of the platforms out there offers Opera a wide-range of users that can run Mini on their devices, and now, with the browsing on the mobile phone becoming a trend, it seems Opera Mini has the whole potential in the world to become an incredible business.
