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.”
