All you mobile warriors out there that want to tackle the World Wide Web from your phone but don’t want to use the integrated browser that came with your phone…breath easy friends.  Relief is here.  Relief, in this case, is spelled OPERA.

That’s right, much-loved web browser Opera has just released their new Mini 4 Browser for your mobile phones.  The coolest part about this release, they claim it lets users view web pages on their phones exactly how they’d look on their desktop computers.  Wow, snazzy.

According to the article i just read,

“Two years ago, we introduced Opera Mini to the world because we wanted to bring the Web to users everywhere. Today, Opera Mini is the world’s most popular mobile browser,” says Jon von Tetzchner, CEO, Opera. “As a result, the mobile Web is now a mass phenomenon. Opera Mini 4 raises the bar for user-friendly access to the Web on
any mobile phone, anywhere in the world.”

Want it?  Head over and check it out.  Being mobile may have just gotten a whole lot easier.

Are you ready for the mobile web to look almost exactly like the real one?  Are you ready to be looking at ads all over your cell phone, and not just your home computer?  If not, get ready because Google just added Adsense to mobile phones.

That’s right kids, you can now make, and make other people, money by viewing these mobile banners.  The article I just read at MobileCrunch, “the availability of AdSense for Mobile, a program that contextually targets ads to mobile Web site content. And there is money for those who serve up the ads too. The service allows ad partners to earn revenue from their mobile sites by placing the ads. AdSense for Mobile will be available to mobile Web site publishers in 13 countries including the United States, England, France, Italy, Germany, Spain, Ireland, Russia, The Netherlands, Australia, India, China and Japan.”

The article was right in mentioning that this very well might not work, as mobile web surfers are generally hunting for very, very specific information and not merely browsing around aimlessly, viewing tons of ads and banners at random.  Once again, time will tell.
