Mobile Apps 2Day: Opera Beta Better with Link and Download Manager

The latest versions of Opera Mini 5 beta and Opera Mobile 10 beta are out.  The update adds features that include both Opera Link and a download manager.

Opera Link uses your Opera account  to sync bookmarks, Speed Dial options, and
browsing history among  Opera browsers.

With Opera Link, users can
synchronize personal browser settings with their Opera desktop browser,
as well as all their connected devices, ensuring that their bookmarks,
Speed Dial and search engines are always accessible. The Download
Manager gives users a better way to control and speed up downloads to
mobile phones.

Features further
polished in the second beta release are the unified look and feel
across Opera's browser products, the visual bookmarks known as Speed
Dial, and tabbed browsing, one of the most popular innovations in
browsing history.

"For Opera, status quo is not an option. We are
always improving our products, adding new functionality and features to
deliver a faster and more personal Web experience," said Jon von
Tetzchner, CEO, Opera Software. "Also, unifying the look and feel,
regardless of device, makes it easy for anyone to get online anywhere,
anytime."

The far-reaching popularity of Opera Mini continues to
grow month after month. Opera reports that almost 40 million people
used Opera Mini in October, saving the consumers 9.4 billion USD per
year just by choosing Opera Mini.
