\"Opera Software has announced that a major new beta release of the Opera Mini Browser will be launched next Tuesday, June 19th. The new version, code named Dimension<\/em>, is said to have been rewritten from the ground up and to incorporate at least one revolutionary new feature<\/strong>. You can sign up for the beta at www.operamini.com\/beta<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Opera Mini is already revolutionary<\/strong>. It has completely transformed the mobile browsing experience particularly on mainstream phones and slow networks. Using nothing more than a Boost Mobile prepaid phone and Opera Mini I browse virtually any site on the web. Huge pages complete with all images load quickly and look great thanks to Mini’s compression and its small screen rendering technology.<\/p>\n

There’s a contest at my.opera.com\/operamini\/blog\/opera-mini-beta-contest<\/a> to guess what the major new feature of Mini will be. I can think of a lot of things that would revolutionize my mobile browsing like off-line browsing, page zooming ala the iPhone or synchronizing which RSS feed items I’ve read with a desktop application. But none of those are truly revolutionary as other mobile browsers already do the first two and web-based newsreaders like Bloglines keep feeds in sync. Page zooming does involve a dimension <\/strong>change though.<\/p>\n

The contest page has some cryptic clues <\/strong>– three photos of a phones each with a different object attached. The objects? An iPod, SLR camera lens and Nintendo Wii controller. Seems to be implying that Dimension will have something to do with media and gaming.<\/p>\n

If you haven’t tried Opera Mini yet, don’t wait until the 19th to get started, point your phones browser at operamini.com<\/a> and download the current version.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
