RSSGoogle, Opera Partner on Mobile Search
By the Betanews Staff | Published December 29, 2005, 11:22 AM
Google has been selected as the default search for Opera Mobile and Opera Mini, the browser's developer said Thursday. The search giant and Opera Software have entered into a one-year agreement, which would make Google a "major part of the browsers home screen," Opera said in a statement.
The Norwegian company has so far failed to create significant buzz surrounding its now-free Opera Web Browser, although it has kept a consistent and loyal following. Recent browser share surveys place Opera around a half-percent, far behind market leaders Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox. But Opera has been making inroads in the mobile space, establishing itself as the de-facto browser on cell phones and portable devices.

|Nice one, It's nice to see a major organization going out of their way to support non MSIE browsers though...and making press about it.

Must be something in the air. I thought I smelled something odd when I got in to work today...I just thought someone blew up another Cornon Bleu in the Mic again...
Mm...burnt cheese.

|just an interesting observation that this could be construed as anti-competetive behaviour, considering that Microsoft were targeted for bundling a default media player with windows.
but hey, as long as it is not MS, it is alright isn't it ??
