Opera Mini Browser Now on Helio Ocean, Officially

Sure, with a little third-party app hacking you've been able to get Opera running on some Helio phones for a while. But today Helio and Opera have released Opera Mini in what's the first official deployment of the tiny browser by a US service provider. Apparently Helio listened to their enthusiast community and then worked to tailor the software. Press release below the screenshots.

Like the Helio Ocean, the Sidekick 3 and Sidekick ID can both get Opera Mini working as a browser. The caveat is that you have to be a Java programmer in the developer community. [Hiptop3]

Custom Apps Now Possible on Helio Ocean (Opera Mini)

Not only is the iPhone getting its third-party cherry popped, the Helio Ocean is now running third-party apps now as well. The first proof of concept app is Opera Mini, the smallish browser from Opera that lets even lousy phones browse like a star. To get it to work on your Ocean (even though the default Ocean browser is just fine for us), just follow the directions on Heliocity. After you're done, you may want to check to see how you can support them to get even cooler apps on the Ocean. [Heliocity]

Opera's Flash-Replacement For Cellphones

[UPDATE: This ain't no Flash plugin. Read on.] It's no secret that our gold standard for mobile browsers is full Youtube support. Apparently, that ain't happening because Flash is a CPU and mem hog. So opera is working on a replacement plug in so phones can get in on some mobile video plugin action.

The new technology will add video capability directly into the Web browser, so that users can see and play back video content directly in Opera. As of yet, Opera has not commented on whether or not the new native playback ability for Opera Mobile will be able to play existing Flash content.

Opera Mini 3.0 for Mobile Phones Released

Opera, the web browser for people who think Firefox is just way too mainstream, has just released version 3.0 of their Mini mobile browser. Bringing RSS feeds, photo sharing, and secure surfing to any Java MIDP-capable phone, it's one of the better ways to surf from your mobile. It's different than Opera Mobile, which is Opera's browser for smartphones and more beefy devices, so if you've got one of those you might want to look into that as well. More »

Opera Releases Mini 2.0

Owners of non-smartphones were out of luck in the browser department until Opera released their Mini. Regular Opera functionality, compatible with J2ME phones, allows lower end phones to browse standard websites in condensed form. Now with Opera Mini 2.0, users can download mp3s, pictures and videos directly onto their phones. This feature, along with buying content via sms automatically were missing from 1.0. More »
