The company Opera Software today released Opera Mobile 10 browser for mobile operators and mobile phone manufacturers. This version is available for Symbian / S60, Windows Mobile, Android and BREW and includes a new cross-platform interface shell. As part of a general program for unifying the appearance and user benefits of all Opera browsers, this shell will allow operators and phone manufacturers to offer their users the same opportunities to work on the Internet, regardless of the brand and platform of mobile devices.

The building blocks of the new interface
The cross-platform shell is a superstructure above the browser core. This gives it the opportunity to work on all platforms within Opera Mobile and Opera Mini and allows you to create dynamic user interfaces. Thus, mobile operators and phone manufacturers can deploy a single browser interface on all phones distributed by them with minimal integration, saving both time and money on implementation. End users receive a single and familiar tool for accessing the Internet, which increases loyalty to the operator and phone manufacturer.

“No operator offers mobile phones of the same type, so Opera has developed a solution for creating user interfaces for different devices and platforms. Thanks to the cross-platform user shell, we can modify the interface to meet the requirements of different brands, ”said Jon von Tetzchner, CEO of Opera Software. “Our interface is already deployed on millions of mobile devices, and the huge amount of positive feedback we received suggests that Opera is a recognized leader in developing unique user solutions for comfortable and efficient Internet access.”

Opera Mobile 10 is a browser for smartphones and powerful mobile phones, installed on more than 135 million devices worldwide. The browser has all the features to make working in the mobile web easier and easier. The set of functions includes tabs, Express panel of quick access to your favorite resources and Password Manager. The current release of the version for operators and device manufacturers on the most popular platforms opens up access to Opera browsers for even more users.
