[Web4lib] Opera Introduces Mini Browser

[Drew, Bill]

This is some hot stuff!!!   I just installed it on my Motorola Camera
Phone from Cingular.  It cost me $2.99 to install it via SMS.  Your
phone must be capable of network connections.  It works via
client-server with most of the work done on the server side.  This is
not displaying WAP!  It is displaying real webpages.  I even used it to
go to our library webpage and search on webopac.  It works great!  It
even has bookmarks.  We don't need to have a WAP enable website anymore.
Opera Mini is a java application.

The company is hoping that its software will encourage more people to
begin to log online from their handsets, but analysts contend it will be
an uphill battle.
