Opera Browser for Apple iPhone
CNN reported that a spokesman from the company behind Opera Browser said that they are going to submit the Opera Browser for Apple iPhone to the Apple store for approval, within few weeks. The result, according to the Norwegian company, would be a browser up to six times faster than the iPhone’s default Web tool, Safari.
In the smartphone market, Opera currently is available on BlackBerry, Windows Mobile and Android platforms. Opera Mini is huge on non-smartphone mobile phones, accounting for much of its more than 50 million monthly users worldwide, according to the company.
Opera argues that Mini and Safari are different, saying Opera Mini is quicker at downloading regular Internet pages while Safari’s design makes it more apt for more data-intensive functions, such as editing a Google document.
Opera’s process involves running Web pages through their servers, stripping away all but the most essential data so the pages load quickly.
