Opera for Google Android's Platform

Opera is trying to be consistent as a number one web browser producer for, not only PCs, but also mobile devices. And as Google's Android Platform is taking a fame, Opera is tuning itself to the platform by developing a web browser for the platform.

The most interesting thing about this is the way Opera created the application. Instead of re-writing the existing Opera Mini web browser, they created a wrapper that translates Java ME API calls into android API calls, and they're using MicroEmulator tool.

Unfortunately, by the time this post is written, no hardware available that will run Android, so for now the Opera Mini for Android can only be run in the Android Emulator. You can download the Opera for Android Platform here.
