Opera Software, a well-known web tool development company, recently announced they would be bringing the latest version of their Opera mobile browser to the iPhone in the coming weeks. Opera Mini is widely regarded as one of the best mobile browsing experiences available for other mobile device platforms, due largely to Opera’s advanced compression technology.

Opera’s browser sets itself apart from other browsers available for the iPhone by utilizing a proprietary compression technology that, according to Opera, “results in significantly faster Web-page loading and reduces data surcharges.”

This will give end-users a faster web experience on their phones and also reduce the amount of data used by the phones which benefits not only consumers, but also wireless internet providers looking to reduce strain on their wireless networks.

Read on to find out how Opera’s compression technology works and how this will affect iPhone users.
