Opera spruces up Opera Mini for Windows Mobile

For those who are stuck with it

BROWSER MAKER Opera has released its "new and improved", better tasting Opera Mini 5.1 for the somewhat ancient and smelly Windows Mobile.

Opera said that the update brings better support for high resolution handsets, accelerometer support and the ability to set Opera Mini as the default browser.

Opera Mini 5.1 has already been released for Java, Android and BlackBerry phones but had been a bit shy of Windows Mobile.

The outfit says that Opera Mini 5.1 will work on Windows Mobile 2003 SE, 5.x and 6.x handsets, and that could give the Vole's obsolescent mobile OS a bit of a boost.

Opera Mini 5.1 is proving popular because its server backbone speeds up browsing by reducing the amount of data transferred to the phone.

Opera co-founder Jon von Tetzchner said that Opera Mini 5.1 contains several key improvements for the millions of people with a Windows Mobile phone. Surprisingly, causing it to self-destruct was not on the list. µ

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
