\"\"Opera has just announced that it has\u00a0updated Opera Mobile<\/strong> to 11 and Opera Mini<\/strong> to 6. James has already shown us that it’s his browser of choice on Android<\/a>, and a hot favorite on Symbian<\/a>, so it’s clear that Opera is an app to be reckoned with. With this double dose of innovation, however, it’s even harder to know which to pick – is Mobile or Mini the best browser for you?<\/p>\n

As you might have guessed from the name, Opera Mobile<\/strong> is the version of the browser optimized for use on mobile devices and tablets. It’s got everything that you would expect from a regular browser, even using the same engine as the desktop version. In other words, Opera Mobile is as close as you can get to standard desktop browsing<\/strong> on a mobile device.<\/p>\n

Opera Mini<\/strong> is the version Opera has released to make mobile browsing the fastest, lightest experience possible<\/strong>, saving you money in the process, especially if you pay for your mobile internet as you go. It does this by shrinking webpages down to a tenth of their size before sending them, which obviously makes for a much smaller, quicker experience.<\/p>\n

Although Opera Mobile and Mini are on very different version numbers, this update has brought the same changes to both. Both include improvements to make scrolling and zooming much smoother<\/strong>, something that really enhances mobile browsing. Added to this is new pinch-to-zoom functionality<\/strong>, something that users of other browsers missed when using Opera.<\/p>\n

Also added is a Twitter, Facebook and blogging share button<\/strong>, which is pretty essential for anyone with even a passing interest in social browsing. Finally, for all you lucky tablet users, Opera Mini and Mobile have also been optimized for tablet use<\/strong>. Opera isn’t shy when it comes to mobile platforms, so there are quite a few to choose from. Have a look here<\/a> to make sure you get the perfect one for you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
