Telecom Lead Asia: Seven Indian mobile handset makers will preinstall the Opera Mini mobile web browser.
Celkon, Karbonn, Lava and Intex will preinstall Opera Mini’s browser on all their Android devices.
Opera Mini will also be preinstalled on select Android devices by Fly and Zen, as well as on HCL ME tablets.
Opera Mini uses a server to pre-process and compress websites to 10 percent of their original size before sending them to the mobile device.
“Number of Indians accessing the web from mobile devices is growing at a much faster rate than those using a computer. This unique environment has made it essential for handset manufacturers to ensure their upcoming mobile devices are web enabled and are ready to deliver the best browsing experience,” said Lars Boilesen, CEO, Opera Software.
