Opera Mobile 9.5 Beta: Putting Users First

Opera Mobile

You can download Opera Mobile Beta 9.5 for Windows Mobile Pocket PC phones over on the XDA-Developers site. They’re the first team to release a fully functional free Windows Mobile web browser. They’ve included every function that I’ve been waiting for and made the first browser capable of matching Safari Mobile’s interface for the iPhone.

The features include:

  • Double-click Zoom
  • Smooth touch based panning
  • Finger-friendly interface for panning and menus.
  • Tabs! Not kidding.
  • Copy and Paste to other Windows Applications
  • Plugin Architecture that allows for adding ‘Opera Widgets’
  • Fixed form entry

You can check out the screenshots and video after the jump, but this is one you need to check out for yourself!

    This is NOT 9.5 and it is NOT a beta. You are using 9.0 something, a PRE-ALPHA version.
