Opera software released
a new version of its mobile browser,
Opera Mini, on Tuesday for use on Palm and RIM handhelds. This new version has "the Google" search engine as default. Since launching earlier this year, Opera Mini has received much fanfare and thanks from mobile users for bringing a fast and much better mobile browser to the marketplace. This new version enhances on image rendering and speed performance by condensing web pages, and decreasing the data size that is transferred. Not only is Opera free to download and use, but they have a
contest running right now where Operaheads can win a free Palm Treo or Blackberry for coming up with a sales pitch to explain why Opera Mini would improve your on-the-go lifestyle. The deadline for the contest is November 30th.

Does this ver of Opera Mini for Blackberries take internet traffic through the Blackberry server, I wonder? Most carriers in Australia offer unlimited wireless data for Blackberry users -- but only for email and web accessed through the Blackberry browser.

Mozilla is working on a hand-held browser as well, but it's still in major beta - http://www.mozilla.org/projects/minimo/
It's more for Palms and PDA's and such it seems, but still looks good.
