OSLO, Norway—Opera Software released the latest version of its Opera Web browser for Windows Mobile.
Opera 8 supports all major Web standards, including CSS2, DOM 2 and JavaScript, said the company. The product also includes the latest version of Opera’s small-screen rendering, which reformats Web pages to fit any screen width and eliminates the need for horizontal scrolling.
“Originally, we had not planned to make Opera available on the Windows Mobile platform, but users kept asking for it because they were disappointed with the far-from-satisfactory performance of the browser that came shipped on their devices,” says Jon S. von Tetzchner, chief executive officer of Opera Software.
The product is available for download at the company’s Web site. Opera said a version for Windows Mobile Pocket PC is under development.
