Is Firefox mobile version a threat to Opera mobile browser? Although Opera Mobile is shipped in more than 100 million handsets from major mobile phone manufacturers and operators worldwide but Firefox could be a threat to them. Opera mobile has launched its another upgrade for Opera Mobile 9.5. From the previous version opera has introduced two major changes. First Opera Mobile 9.5 is available for Symbian UIQ as well as Windows Mobile devices. Second, the browser now supports Opera Widgets.
With new beta Opera Mobile 9.5 user can view the full desktop of web pages or zoom in for a closer look like in iPhone and Safari. Opera Mobile is a free application in beta which is just one-click web application. Rather than launching your mobile web browser and navigating to a page, you can click a widget icon and access a web page or application designed to work well with the Opera Mobile browser.
The beta browser is free for just while but as soon as it comes out of beta it can have 30 USD like other versions. More about the widgets you can learn here http://widgets.opera.com/.
