Mobile Browser Wars Not Just Confined To Smartphones
mocoNews —
... Another conspicuous absence from the report was Opera Mini, the mobile version from Norwegian browser firm Opera Software (OSL: OPERA), which has a number of important distribution deals in place, including coming pre-loaded on HTC's G1 device. GigaOm spoke with Opera chief Jon S. von Tetzchner, who raised other issues with the report. First, Net Applications looks at data mainly from the US and some parts of Western Europe, while Opera's browsers, both desktop and mobile version, get a lot of traction in emerging markets. The second interesting point is the whole ...

... be interested in Chrome? My wild guess: the mobile browser market. WebKit (and thus Chrome) have a clear path to netbooks and mobiles over Mozilla. WebKit is dominating the mobile web market, as shown by market share data released by Net Applications recently. Mozilla’s mobile offerings are slow in coming.

Opera About to Sing With U.S. Carriers
jkOnTheRun —
... If Forbes is right, I’d expect Opera Mini to show a large jump in browser market share, which is good for Opera as a whole. Recently, Net Applications reported no growth for Opera, which the company refutes. It all depends on how you measure the data, to some degree. One thing you can’t deny: With 21 million active Opera Mini users, there’s plenty of room for potential growth on the billions of handsets out there. Carrier partnerships can help Opera get a start on that growth for the company’s second act. ...

Eight handsets are the intial target starting April 14, including the the Samsung Slash, the Arc, Shuttle and Super Slice.
