Opera 9 web browser coming to Windows Mobile

Opera MobileOpera this week announced plans to develop a version of the Opera 9 web browser for Windows Mobile phones and PDAs. Opera 8.6 is already one of the fastest web browsers available for Windows Mobile devices, with a super speedy rendering engine.

Version 9 will incorporate several new features.
  • Users will be able to view a full web page or zoom in to a particular area, much like the way the Opera browser for Wii works.
  • Opera will add widgets to the mobile browser, letting users check weather, traffic, news, email and other information.
No word on pricing or availability, but Opera 8.6 sells for $24, and I'd expect Opera 9 to be similarly priced.
