Opera announced the release of its new mobile web browser Opera Mini 4, yesterday. This new version of the company’s browser allows users to view web pages exactly as they appear on 
desktop computers. All your favorite Web sites and services can be cradled in your gentle hands with loving care. Opera Mini 4 automatically reduces the size of the transferred pages, so Web sites load faster while reducing the cost of surfing.
“Two years ago, we introduced Opera Mini to the world because we wanted to bring the Web to users everywhere. Today, Opera Mini is the world’s most popular mobile browser,” says Jon von Tetzchner, CEO, Opera. “As a result, the mobile Web is now a mass phenomenon. Opera Mini 4 raises the bar for user-friendly access to the Web on
any mobile phone, anywhere in the world.”
“We’ve had a lot of help from the community to get us ready to release Opera Mini 4 to the world,” says Oleg Tukh, product manager for Opera Mini. “Now that it’s ready and free to download, anyone can discover the beauty of Opera Mini and enjoy the best Web
experience available on almost any regular mobile phone. We’re excited to share this with everyone.”
Opera Mini is a free service, so if you have some time check it out. Let me know what you think. Just point your phone’s current Web browser to http://www.operamini.com/
