Opera Mini 7 launches for Android

Opera Software on Wednesday released the latest version of its compact Opera Mini browser for Android devices, which was heretofore available only as an Opera Next advance build.

Opera Mini 7 for Android features improved hardware acceleration for faster and smoother performance, and features the ability to set up the homescreen with an unlimited number of Speed Dial buttons.

As has always been the case with Opera Mini, the biggest selling point, besides its ability to sync with your desktop Opera browser, is its server-side compression, which reduces the amount of data you consume while browsing on a mobile data connection.

Amazon has not yet updated its listing of Opera Mini to version 7, so Kindle Fire users have to obtain Opera Mini 7 directly from Opera.
