Hands-On with Opera Mini 4.1

With all the new browsers on the scene, Opera found it only fit to show the new comers it still has a couple of tricks up the sleeve. In enters the new Opera Mini 4.1 Beta with new features like the ability to save pages offline and runs up to 50% faster. I’ve tested the new Opera Mini and have to say that it is very slick and easy to use. One of the new features is the ability to use the “Find”, button within a web page to find certain words. So next time you do a search for “Chicken salad”, you can go right to the recipe instead of reading through the history of chicken salad. The ability to save web pages offline is great for those long train rides or article reads when there is no reception or Wi-FI.

Opera now supports the ability to upload and download pictures to web sites like flicker. Again your phone must be compatible with the uploading and downloading as it did not work on my Treo 750 or BlackJack II -- Since Opera Mini needs to run through a JVM, support for WinMo devices will be a little hit and miss.
