Opera Mobile 10 lands
OPERA HAS LAUCHED a beta version of the tenth iteration of its popular mobile web browser for Windows Mobile devices.
Opera Mobile 10 is designed to mimic the look and feel of the desktop version of its browser and includes several common features such as Speed Dial, tabbed browsing, a password manager and the Opera Turbo server-side page rendering.
"We are unifying our products, so that users get the same experience, no matter the device or which particular Opera browser they are using," said Jon von Tetzchner, chief executive officer of Opera.
"With Opera Mobile 10, we are raising the expectations of how a mobile browser should perform. Today, users require a browser as powerful as the web, one that can handle their daily tasks as well as their computers."
According to Opera, the latest version of the browser sports a new smoother and de-cluttered interface optimised for touch screens, easier image management and better site compatibility.
Windows Mobile users can download the beta from the Opera Mobile site or directly onto their phone from here. µ

Open source? Did I miss something?
MS had WinCE in miserable condition and WinMo6 was real success. Its never like desktop windows that WinMo has droped from some 90%. The real dethroning has happened to Symbian down from anything to 40%. I believe office2010 coming in 2H-2010 will cause a milestone WinMo release. this will bring the real push for WinMo6.5.1 or WinMo7. MS is releaved from Windows7 side and all energies are now concentrated on Office/Sharepoint-2010 and WinMo. I can also think of this because Office2010 will be super compatible version with Cloud and GoogleWebApp Killer. this all jargon canot be convincing unless MS shows this on ground and no other better way than to show Web/Cloud on Mobile devices. Hence Office/Sharepoint-2010's survival is attached to future of strong WinMo/
Opera mobile 10 uses Presto 2.4 (Opera's browser engine) witch has lots of features (css3: border-radius, box-shadow, transitions) that you don't have in the desktop version.
Hopefully we'll see Opera 10.20/50 soon with it as well as soon as they stop using so much desktop resources on Opera unite.

Please don't forget about version for symbian mobiles as well. It works great on N95 and whoever owns symbian device should give it a try.
