Opera Mini 4.2 for Android now ready

opera-mini-android.jpg

operamini_logoOur friend Eric Zeman over at PhoneScoop.com received an email from Opera last night with a list of Android related bug fixes addressed in the 4.2 version of Opera Mini.  The fixes should make the browser much more viable for Android users, though I have to admit that I have yet to try it out myself.

According to Opera, the major fixes include:

  • Access to the SD card for uploading and downloading, and for saving pages
  • Video playback hand-off, when needed, to the OS
  • Double tap zoom and unzoom
  • Built-in URL input box
  • Corrected password entry handling
  • Fixed problems with back function and when closing the app
  • Improved trackball speed
  • Using an extra large font for built-in pages

Test it out and let us know how it works in the comments section.

    Cool. Is there a way to tell resource-wise how much memory the Opera browser chews up compared to the default browser? Regardless, the built-in URL input box will be great. I’ve gone crazy accidentally pulling down the window shade/status bar thinking I can enter a URL at the top.
