Android Opera Mobile 10.1 Beta browser is now available in the Android Market for free.

Opera claims that it will give Android users more speed and functionality.

Opera Mobile offers faster page loading than other browsers and a highly fluid panning, scrolling and smooth zooming experience. Speed Dial, another Opera innovation, gives quick and easy access to the user's favorite websites, while the password manager saves the user from cumbersome mobile-phone typing.  Users should experience better browsing on slow or congested networks with Opera Turbo, which provides up to 80 percent data compression.

Opera Mobile 10.1 Beta for Android also features:

  • Easy tab management with visual tabs.
  • Opera Presto rendering engine.
  • Sync your bookmarks across devices with Opera Link.
  • Ability to be set as the default browser.
  • Geolocation support.
  • Scalable Vector Graphics support.
