Opera Software announced that its popular Opera Mini browser will now be pre-installed and available to a significant number of cell phone users in Germany through leading service provider O2's "Internet-to-Go" initiative. O2 customers will have access to the full Internet experience from the convenience of their mobile phone, allowing them to view the latest news, weather, e-commerce, and social networking Web sites on-the-go.
O2's "Internet-to-Go" will be available on several models with both pre-installed or over-the-air (OTA) versions of the Opera Mini browser. The Samsung U900 Soul will launch mid-summer with the pre-installed version and as early as late July with the OTA version. Opera Mini will be O2-branded featuring a customized skin and pre-set bookmarks.
