Opera Mobile 9.7 is expected to support S60

Opera released the new version of server-accelerated Mobile phone viewer Opera Mobile 2009 at the 9.7 CTIA wireless exhibition. It adopts the breakthrough data compression technology Opera Turbo and uses the same rendering engine Presto 2.2 as Opera 10, perfect support for dynamic web pages such as Ajax and Flash.

Opera Mobile 9.7 is currently only available to network operators. Normal users can only meet Opera Mobile 9.7 at the beginning of next month, and its first Beta version only supports Windows Mobile.

Over the past few months, operabrowser has been focusing on Windows Mobile touch-screen devices and Sony Ericsson's UIQ platform. It has not supported Saipan S60 since 8.65. Fortunately, according to an article in its official blog, Opera Mobile 9.7 is expected to support S60:

"Speaking of Saipan S60, what I can tell you is that we are developing the Opera Mobile version that supports S60), but I have to say it is great and we can't wait to provide it to everyone."

Although Opera did not disclose when the version of Opera Mobile that supports S60 can be released, it is unclear which version it supports, but this is good news for the majority of S60 users. In addition, the current Opera has greatly optimized the touch screen user interface, so the most likely version to be supported is S60's fifth edition.
