The Download Manager gives users a better way to control and speed up downloads to mobile phones.
· Opera continues its mission to unify its browser products, and this beta release is no exception. Features further polished in the second beta release are the unified look and feel across Opera’s browser products, the visual bookmarks known as Speed Dial, and tabbed browsing, one of the most popular innovations in browsing history.
Intuitive interface:
· Opera Mobile 10 beta boasts a powerful new user interface. Merging the best from our desktop browser with new innovations for mobile phones, Opera Mobile is advanced and highly intuitive to use.
Faster browsing:
· Opera Mobile 10 beta is faster at rendering pages, zooming, panning and almost everything else you do with a browser. Page downloading is now 50% faster than the previous version of Opera for Symbian/S60 phones.
Speed Dial:
· Get to your favorite Web page with just one click, with a set of visual bookmarks that appear when you open a new tab. To add a new page, simply click on an empty Speed Dial slot.
Tabs:
· With tabbed browsing, you no longer need to interrupt one session to start another. Check your Web mail in one window, Facebook in another, Twitter in a third and all that while checking the latest sports results.
Opera Turbo:
· Opera's servers compress Web pages up to 70%, greatly reducing the cost of browsing. Opera Turbo saves you both time and money, and makes Web browsing more enjoyable.
Touch & keypad:
· The user interface has been designed for both touchscreen and keypad-style mobile phones. With a touchscreen, you can enjoy even easier navigation with our new adaptive zoom feature.
Password manager:
· Say goodbye to typing in hard-to-remember usernames and passwords. Opera Mobile 10 will remember your credentials, and you can log on to your favorite Web sites with just a single click.
Adaptive zoom:
· Full Web-page viewing allows you to easily pan and zoom into your desired content in just a few clicks.
Saving pages and images:
· With Opera Mobile 10, you can save Web pages and images for later offline viewing.
Typing less, browsing more:
· Save time with Web address auto-completion, Password Manager and pop-up handler.
Improved Web-standards support:
· Opera Mobile is the most standards-compliant mobile browser available. Opera Software remains steadfast in its commitment to make the Web accessible for all.
A true Web experience:
· With Opera Mobile, you can now easily multi-task with tabbed browsing, switching between multiple tabs.
Improved rendering engine:
· Opera Mobile 9.7 Beta uses the Presto 2.2 rendering engine, which will also be used in the Opera 10 desktop browser. Presto 2.2 offers faster page loading, and we're excited to use this state-of-the-art rendering engine and be at the forefront of standards support with 100/100 on Acid 3.
Opera Turbo:
· Finally we can show you Opera Turbo on mobile! Opera Turbo accelerates the browsing experience by reducing bandwidth consumption up to 80%. Many of you will be familiar with Opera's compression technology from using Opera Mini, and with Opera Mobile 9.7 you'll get the best of both worlds - a full-fledged browser with extra Turbo capabilities. It's not the full version of Opera Turbo yet (yes, that's a Beta feature in a Beta release), but we couldn't wait to show you this cool feature.
Improved Widget Manager:
· Opera Widgets are small, handy Web applications that run locally on your mobile phone. Our new Widget Manager has improved usability and design, and runs independently from the browser.
Gears:
· Gears is a Google open source project that enables more powerful web applications, by adding new features to your web browser. Read more about Gears on Opera Labs.
OpenGL ES:
· Hardware acceleration with OpenGL ES support, ensuring smoother scrolling, panning and a more fluid user interface.
Also, we've tried to iron out some of the major issues with the 9.51 Beta, among other things:
· Installation on storage card is now possible, and the Beta happily coexists with preinstalled versions of Opera Mobile.
· Better IME support (although a lot of non-standard 3rd party IME applications still make this a difficult task).
· Better performance and feedback when clicking links.
