On the App Store’s top-10. Opera Mini is located in the top in all countries except one.

Opera Mini was released last Tuesday, and the Norwegian browser has become a huge success. This app is number one in virtually all countries, Australia is the only country that ranks in second place after the game Bird Strike.

It took 20 days, 8 hours and 31 minutes for Apple to approve Opera Mini for iPhone and iPod tuch.
I have previously written about this, see here.
We should not take to much notice, that it took 20 days, it register lots of apps every day.
So now it is to download it to your device and see if it is as good as Opera says, for if it would be so, then I can not see one that will work with
safari in the future, one thing is for sure, Opera for PC is very good.

Google Chrome new beta version 5.0.342.9 have just been released.
Version 5.0 of the browser is now being developed and recently released a new Google beta version of the program. Since it is just a beta version, the program can still be buggy and unstable, which should be borne in mind before installing.
Google’s Chrome browser has a very short time built up a loyal band of users and is the browser that is constantly increasing in various studies done on the various web readers’ shares on the market.

Norwegian Opera has now submitted Mini mobile web browser to the App Store.
If Apple will approve a competitor for iPhones Safari remains to be seen.

Analysts believe that Apple will stop Opera, so Apple can continue maintain control over the user’s surfing, say the news-agency Reuters.

Opera showed first up to Opera Mini for iPhone during the Mobile World Congress earlier this year. The developers say it is “rocket fast.” and claims that Mini load Web pages up to six times faster than the Apple iPhone’s default browser Safari.
The developers say it’s because Opera do compress data by up to 90 percent before it is sent to your mobile. This is an advantage, reducing costs for users that surf without a data plan with a fixed monthly fee, or if you use your iPhone abroad, says Opera.

Operas mini-browser is already available for several other mobile operating systems and will be available in more than 50 million handsets worldwide.

On Opera Mini’s page can you follow the time to see how long time ago it was submitted to iPhone for approve, this looks little like a PR-thing but quite cool if I can say that.
