Opera 5 on Android Promises to Never Leave You Waiting

Posted: July 22, 2010  | John Fildes

Opera 5 nailed it by achieving 90% remote compression of content before transmission.

As most iPhone users know, there is nothing more frustrating than slow page loads when browsing the web on AT&T’s 3G network in low-bandwidth areas. And trying to browse apps that transmit large amounts of data is out of the question.

But Opera 5’s approach, using remote compression helps ensure Android users never have to experience those issues. By compressing content on Opera’s servers and then completing transmission to your mobile device, Opera leaves more processing power on your device free and available to run other functions critical to browser performance. The result is not only faster load times, but the elimination of lags in performance when browsing.

Combined with Android’s ability to simultaneously run multiple applications, Opera 5 users will quickly find themselves efficiently multi-tasking in ways they have only dreamed about before.
