Opera Mini 5 beta is now available for Android

Opera Mini continues to evolve and now speaks Android. A native beta version is already available for all Androids out there introducing them to the world of compressed browsing.

This release comes hot on the heels of the native Windows Mobile version of Opera Mini 5, which was unveiled only last week.

The Android version of Opera Mini 5 comes with all the usual goodies - tabbed browsing, Speed Dial, password manager and bookmarks. The most important feature of course is the extremely fast page loading, thanks to the data compression made reaching nearly 90%. Of course it all happens on a remote server so your smartphone doesn't need to be troubled with the calculations.

You can download Opera Mini 5 beta on your Android phone by accessing this page or get it through the Android Market.
