Opera Mini, the fast-ish browser previously available for the iPhone, has finally made its way to the iPad. The speed dial, ‘tabbed browsing’ and trademark zippiness of Opera Mini is all there.
Skyfire 4.0 for Android has some new customisable options in their ‘Skybar’, which is like a favourites menu that gives you quick access to Facebook, Twitter, Google Reader, a “share” button, and sports, news and finance feeds. But! They’re going to start charging Android users for their excellent video playback feature.
RockMelt, the super social desktop browser based on Chrome, is now available on the iPhone. Unsurprisingly, it’s as social network friendly as ever, hell, when you open up the browser for the first time, you have to connect your Facebook account to use RockMelt.
Firefox 4 for Android and Maemo has just been released by Mozilla, bringing with it Firefox Sync for syncing data between desktop and mobile such as bookmarks, open tabs, form data, passwords and the various pros and cons browsing history can offer.
Android/Symbian: Firefox 4 is the big browser release of the day, but it’s not the only one. Opera released a new version of their mobile browser for Android and Symbian devices. New features include:
Apple devices running the latest iOS 4.3 update were supposed to run a significantly faster version of the Mobile Safari web browser, boasting a new JavaScript engine promising to double speeds.
A few minor updates for Windows Phone 7 are coming soon, such as the copy-and-paste functionality which we’d heard of previously (due to launch next month), but also Support for cloud-based Office documents; Twitter integration for the People Hub; multi-tasking for apps, and yes, that rumoured IE9 update for the phone’s browser.
In its latest press release about how well everything’s going and how popular it is, Opera has revealed plans for an iPad version of its popular Opera Mini browser.
