Opera today unleashed the final version of Opera Mobile 10.1 for Symbian/Series 60 phones with significantly faster JavaScript performance for a speedy browsing experience. The new release brings a Javascript update that significantly increase the browsing speed on Symbian devices, using just-in-time compilation (JIT) performance optimisation to the Carakan JavaScript engine.
This technology is the same as that used in Opera desktop browser versions and early test of the new Opera Mobile 10.1 browser show results that are nine times faster than the pervious mobile version of the Opera browser.
Opera Mobile 10.1 for Symbian also supports geolocation, allowing various web services – including maps and travel applications – to provide content relevant to your location (of course, you can always disable geolocation if you think your privacy is affected).
“Powerful smartphones deserve an equally powerful browser,” said Lars Boilesen, CEO, Opera Software. “Opera Mobile 10.1 today brings the best mobile browsing experience to the world’s most popular smartphone platform.”
Here are more reasons to put Opera Mobile 10.1 in the driver’s seat for your Symbian mobile browsing:
- Pioneering features from Opera — such as Speed Dial, tabbed browsing, Opera Link and password manager — reduce the time and typing required to navigate your favorite websites.
- When slow network speeds put the brakes on your browsing, gear up with Opera Turbo compression. Opera servers shrink webpages to as little as 20 percent of their original size, reducing your data costs and turbo-charging your browsing speed.
- Opera Mobile fine-tunes the look and feel of your browsing with kinetic scrolling, a virtual keyboard and auto-rotation to landscape.0
Opera Mobile 10.1 is available for smartphones based on Symbian^3, and Symbian S60 3rd and 5th editions. Opera Mobile is free to download from m.opera.com
