After being in beta for nearly a month-and-a-half, yesterday, Opera Software announced public availability of Opera Mini 4.1, the newest version of its mobile phone browser.

Opera claims Opera Mini 4.1 offers the following:

It is up to 50 percent faster than Opera Mini 4.0

It automatically suggests URL completions, making for intuitive address input

It is able to save Web pages for later offline viewing

It gives quick access to the word or phrase you're looking for in the Web page

It allows downloading images, ring tones, and other content without having to leave it

Typically, Opera Mini is claimed to deliver the Web to your phone faster and display pages just as they would look from your desktop browser. With Opera Zoom, you can zero in on specific content while Opera Link (a new feature) helps synchronize your bookmarks and speed dial between all of your Web browsers for free.

The first Opera Mini was launched worldwide in 2006; since then over 44 million people have used the software, claims Opera Software.

I have used Opera. It is better than the normal internet browser which is available on the mobile phone. I saw my account in edeskonline. It showed up perfectly. It allows me to make phone calls from my in-the-cloud site : edeskonline
