Opera Mini 5 beta released

Opera Mini is my favorite mobile browser, after waiting for so long, finally the new beta version is available now. Opera Mini 5 Beta introduces a new, sleek look and feel, with lot of new features.
Some of the new features of Opera Mini 5 are:

Tabbed Browsing

With tabbed browsing, you no longer need to interrupt one session to start another. Use your Web mail in one window, Facebook in another, Twitter in a third and all that while checking the latest sports results. With Opera Mini, you can easily identify the different tabs and jump between them.

Speed Dial

Get your favorite Web page with just one click. Speed Dial is a set of visual bookmarks you see when you open a new tab, like a dashboard for your on-line life. To add a new page, simply click on an empty Speed Dial slot, and Opera will make suggestions based on your browsing history and bookmarks.

Touch & Keypad

The user interface has been designed for both touchscreen- and keypad-style mobile phones. With a touchscreen, you can enjoy even easier navigation with our new zooming and kinetic scrolling.
