Opera Mobile to Appear on Samsung Phones

By the Betanews Staff | Published December 21, 2006, 10:04 AM

Opera Software said Thursday that it had entered into an agreement with South Korean electronics maker Samsung to provide its namesake Internet browser software for the company's mobile phones. As the contract is per phone, no estimate of the contract's total value was provided. Opera mobile is a standards-based browser that automatically reformats standard-sized web pages for viewing on a small screen.

The company earlier this month had announced that Nokia had agreed to put the Opera Mini browser on 6300 series phones in select markets. "Our strategies in working closely across the board with major handset manufacturers, operators and directly with end users have made Opera Mobile an attractive product," Opera CEO Jon von Tetzchner said.

Don't parade with Opera. I do admit that the rendering engine is far better than Firefox, but not all plug-ins work properly in both Mac or Linux. On top of that it's not fully DHTML compatible.
