Victory is ours ! Opera releases Opera browser for Windows Mobile ! August 31, 2004 [General] | By Edward J. R. We have been pressing Opera company to release a browser also for Windows Mobile for years (behind the scenes)... and we even published an open letter to Opera company to release it, and now it looks like the dream comes true: Opera releases Opera browser for Windows Mobile devices!!! Hip Hip Hooray!!! 
Nokia corporation deeply betrayed Opera company and practically Nokia has carried out steps that could lead to bankruptcy of this company... so it is only right that now Opera proves that it is truly multi-platform company and releases (soon - there is no specific release date yet) browser for Windows Mobile: Microsoft Smartphone and Pocket PC... Information directly from Opera company follows. * * * * * Opera Software Announces The Opera Browser for Windows Mobile Opera Software announced that its revolutionary Opera smartphone browser will soon become available for Microsoft Windows Mobile software. Windows Mobile is a completely new platform for Opera, offering operators, handset vendors, enterprises and end users more choice of platforms that provide outstanding Web browsing on small, restricted smartphone screens. Opera's range of smartphone browsers includes Small-Screen Rendering (SSR) technology, an Opera innovation that enables users to browse regular Web pages for the first time on small mobile screens by reformatting the page and thus eliminating the need for horizontal scrolling. "Operators want to offer their subscribers the same Internet and brand experience on all the different handsets coming from the various manufacturers, necessitating a fully integrated cross-platform browser," says Rolf Assev, Executive Vice President Business Development, Marketing and Strategic Alliances, Opera Software ASA. "We've heard the market's call, and we're responding. Opera will soon offer a new Internet experience with Windows Mobile-based Smartphones." "Microsoft is excited to see the increased level of innovation and opportunity generated by the broad adoption of Windows Mobile-based devices," said Mark Spain, director of the Mobile and Embedded Devices Group at Microsoft Corp. "Opera's support of the Windows Mobile platform delivers more choice to mobile operators and customers and demonstrates the openness of the platform."
