Opera Mini 4.2 for Android Released

From DailyTech: After years of experience playing the underdog to Microsoft and Mozilla, and producing some of the lightest and fastest browsers around, Opera is seeing great success in the mobile market. Opera markets two browsers in the mobile realm: Opera Mobile (a more traditional, full featured browser) and Opera Mini, a lightweight browser which uses java to deliver precompressed content with requests and compression being handled by Opera's servers.

When it comes to Opera Mini, one hot market is for the T-Mobile's G1 – which runs Google's Android OS -- and other upcoming Android phones. After thorough beta testing, Opera has released Opera Mini 4.2, specially crafted to work well with Android phones. The new edition of the browser includes many features suggested by users during the beta process and implemented late in the development cycle.

The browser can now upload and download content including web pages and images to the phone's SD memory card interface via added support for the JSR-75 (File API) standard. Video is now also supported by a handoff to the OS's dedicated video player. Inline URL entry and full double tap zoom/unzoom are also now available.
