Opera Moblie 9.5 to support Flash, Ajax and Widgets

by Avatar	Stumble this!	February 09th 2008

Now this are some good news, as predicted the main advantage of the iphone (the browser) is gonna be matched and surpassed this year. one of the main contributors to it will be the dominant mobile browser provider; Opera software.

While Opera Browser has failed to make any inroads in the desktop because of lack of support to many proprietary technologies and not working closely enough with the provider of such technologies (Adobe and Microsoft more than anything) , this has not passed in the Mobile and devices world were they dominate and always push to support the top technologies along innovating too.

So, they now have confirmed that their next Opera Mobile offering for both Symbian and Windows Mobile is going to support Flash, Ajax and a mobile version of the Opera Widgets engine.

This will allow to render 90% of all the existing widgets in the web right now, so your browsing will be completely changed by it and will result in a mirrored mobile web where almost everything will be the same compared to the desktop one.

The only tech that should be added later on is Full support of Flex and Silverlight Support something several members of the Opera community and Fans of Opera want to have sorted out as they recognize these two technologies will become a great part of the web.

But right now, with this announcement Opera Mobile 9.5 is actually superior in rendering engine, flash support and widget support to Apple own Iphone safari, so if you want to have a full web there is no need for you to get a iphone.

Now enjoy a demo of this new browser so you can look at it and how the new widgets work:
