February 27 2012 - 2:01AM
MOBILE WORLD CONGRESS -- MIPS Technologies, Inc.
(Nasdaq:MIPS), a leading provider of industry-standard processor
architectures and cores for digital home, networking and mobile
applications, and Opera Software have worked together to optimize
the highly popular Opera Mobile browser for MIPS-Based™ Android™
mobile devices.
The Opera Mobile browser is the leading third-party browser on
the Android platform, with smooth browsing, data compression using
the Opera Turbo feature, and industry-leading HTML5 support.
Highlights from the new Opera Mobile Labs release include advanced
HTML5 and WebGL support.
MIPS and Opera will demonstrate the Opera Mobile browser running
on new MIPS-Based Android 4.0 "Ice Cream Sandwich" tablets during
Mobile World Congress (MWC) being held February 27 – March 1, 2012,
in Barcelona, Spain. Consumers who already have an Android tablet
or phone running on a MIPS-Based chip now have the power of Opera
Mobile available for download.
"Opera provides more than just browser – the company's
technology provides a window to the World Wide Web, as well as
web-based services and apps. With long experience in HTML5 support,
Opera offers an outstanding web experience, now available on
MIPS-Based mobile devices," said Gideon Intrater, vice president of
marketing, MIPS Technologies.
"Opera and MIPS have collaborated on the TV platform for a long
time, and now, we've decided to work together also to give people a
great experience on mobile products," said Lars Boilesen, CEO,
Opera Software. "We invite MWC attendees to visit our booth and see
the amazing result we've achieved by optimizing our browser for
MIPS-based Android mobile devices for the first time."
