4INFO and Opera Mini™ Expand Partnership

NFL/NCAA/Fantasy Football available in your pocket with Opera Mini™ Endzone

Oslo, Norway and Palo Alto, CA - October 5, 2006

Opera Software and 4INFO announced today an expansion of their current relationship to build and promote sports-based versions of the free mobile browser, Opera Mini™. Based largely on the initial success of the World Cup version, Opera Mini™ Goal '06, the companies have today introduced the Opera Mini™ Endzone '06 mini browser, which is tailored to NFL, NCAA, and fantasy football. The sports-specific browsers provide access to text alerts for live scores, news, and statistics for their respective sports. Opera Mini™ Endzone '06 is available for free through SMS, by texting "opera" to 44636, or via download at mini.opera.com/endzone.

The Opera Mini™ Endzone '06 browser allows users to leverage 4INFO's WAP-based infrastructure for setting mobile text alerts for player stats and game scores. It also provides direct links to NFL, NCAA, and fantasy football mobile sites for users to visit and bookmark. Opera Mini™ Endzone '06 delivers the same ease of use and usability as the general build of the mobile browser: device-tailored search and navigation of the World Web Web, including the users' favorite community, webmail and portal pages.

"4INFO and Opera, in combination, put more power and control into the hands of the mobile phone user," says Zaw Thet, CEO of 4INFO. "This partnership is about access to information and the ease of managing it right from your phone."

"Opera Mini™ was always intended for this kind of use," says Jon von Tetzchner, CEO, Opera Software. "This powerful small Web browser lets anyone with a mobile phone and a data plan break into the real Web to get their needed information on the go. Opera Mini™ Endzone '06 takes the extra step by customizing the experience for football fans."

Availability

Opera Mini™ Endzone '06 is available now, free of charge via SMS, by texting "opera" to 44636, or via download at mini.opera.com/endzone. An Internet data plan is required to access the Internet.
