Opera takes centre stage at India Telecom 2009

Opera Software will participate in the upcoming India Telecom exhibition, held in Pragati Maidan, New Delhi from December 3-5, 2009. India Telecom 2009 is organized by the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) in association with Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce & Industry (FICCI). Visitors can meet Opera Software executives and see product demos at booth B-13 in Hall number 18 of the exhibition.

During the exhibition, Opera Software will be demoing the latest versions of Opera Mini 5 beta, Opera Mobile 10 beta, Opera 10.10 browser for desktop and a wide range of devices that support the browser. Opera Mobile and Opera Mini run on multiple mobile platforms and are pre-installed on phones such as Nokia, HTC, Motorola, Samsung, Sony-Ericsson and the recently launched Garmin-Asus Nuvifone.

With a vision to deliver the best Internet experience on any device, Opera Software continues to provide users with new and innovative products for mobile browsing. Opera�s world-leading Web browser for mobile phones, Opera Mini, has made significant impact on the Indian market, which has resulted in exponential Web usage growth month-on- month.

�Nearly 40 million people around the world used Opera Mini last month, representing more than 11 percent growth in just one month,� said Sagar Chandna, country manager for India, Opera Software. �Opera Mini is used by millions in India as well. India�s PC penetration remains lower than the global average, and people turn to Opera Mini to get online. As a result, India ranks amongst the top three markets for Opera Mini globally.�

In India, Opera Software has developed close partnerships with operators such as Tata Teleservices. Tata delivers Opera Mini on approximately 30 handsets, allowing users to download it as a service. The tailor-made Opera Mini solution for Tata includes a dynamic home page with full brand integration of the user interface, focused on educating first-time Internet users. Opera Mini�s small footprint, compression technology, customization and localization empower Tata Teleservices to bring a rich and easy-to-use Web experience to their customers.

Opera-powered devices on display at India Telecom include: Asus Eee PC, Orange Tabbee, Nintendo DSi and several handsets working on the Android, Windows Mobile, Symbian & other operating platforms.
