News: T-Mobile's G1 Gets Visual Voice Mail, Opera Browser
Source: http://www.cio-today.com/
November 25, 2008 8:39AM
A visual voice-mail application from PhoneFusion and the Opera Mini 4.2 browser have become available for T-Mobile's G1 smartphone powered by Google's Android mobile operating system. The free Opera Mini browser runs faster than the beta and is also available for the Samsung Instinct and newer phones from Sony Ericsson and Nokia.
A new visual voice-mail application and the Opera Mini browser were made available Monday for T-Mobile's Android-based G1 smartphone. The Opera Mini 4.2 mobile browser, released as a beta earlier this month, is now out in a free final version. It includes a performance increase of up to 30 percent over the beta, thanks to a farm of U.S.-based servers that preprocess and compress Web requests. It also includes skins, syncing with notes, support for multiple languages, and other features.
Opera Software describes the browser as "the world's most popular mobile Web browser," with more than 20 million users. Other features include staying in touch with friends via Facebook, searching with Google, and secure online banking,
The browser is also available for the Samsung Instinct and newer Sony Ericsson and Nokia phones. It offers browsing of full Web pages, with the user being able to zoom into a page whose text has been formatted correctly for the small screen.
The Opera Mini browser is available from the Opera Software site, as well as the Android Market, a Google app store comparable to Apple's iPhone App Store. The Android Market is also offering the beta version of Fusion Voicemail Plus from Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.-based PhoneFusion.
