Features and Benefits Highlights

Full Web browsing optimized for Portable Media

Opera's 10-year desktop heritage and common core technology brings the full Internet to portable media devices.

Fully customizable user interface

The fastest Web browsing experience on the desktop is now available in the palm of your hand. Opera’s highly efficient design and use of device memory result in a superior user experience without straining the device’s resources.

High performance, small footprint

Opera's spatial navigation capabilities and fully configurable input settings make it easy to navigate in any environment by using interaction mechanisms ranging from touch screens and keypads to voice.

Any sized display

Opera's proprietary Extensible Rendering Architecture (ERA) re-formats Web pages on the fly to suit any screen size. TV rendering (TVR) optimizes the user experience for televisions and any devices that output to a TV.

Plug-in support

The SDK fully implements the Netscape Plug-in API, which allows quick porting of Adobe Flash Player or custom plug-ins. Support for new content types can be added using Opera's APIs for plug-ins and extensions.
