Opera Software today released Opera Mobile 10 to operators and OEMs. The new direct-to-distributor version of the popular mobile browser will be available on Android, Brew, Windows Mobile and Symbian/S60 smartphones and includes Opera’s new cross-platform UI framework.
The move is an attempt to unify the look and feel of its mobile browsers, according to a press release. The cross-platform UI framework will allow operators and OEMs to implement the same user experience across their entire range of handsets.
Opera Mobile 10 has chalked up 135 million shipments globally. The browser touts features such as tabs, speed dial and password manager.
According to Global Stats, a company that tracks mobile Web browser usage, Opera is currently the most used browser globally, taking a 25 percent market share. In the United States, Opera captured only a 3.6 percent of the market, with Apple’s Safari browser taking a 36.29 percent share.
