Java ME enables Opera Mini to serve 1 billion pages... per day!
In a press release issued today, Opera has announced that over a billion pages are being viewed every day using their Java ME-based Opera Mini browser. This is a staggering number! Opera Mini uses a unique server-side compression to reduce data-traffic by up to 90% to improve the user's experience in browsing web-content from their Java ME devices as well as to reduce cost for consumers that might not be using an unlimited data plan.
This latest milestone represents a growth factor of 10x from a previous milestone of 100 million daily page views back in June 2008. Congratulations to Opera for hitting this amazing achievement. Oh, and did we mention that its free?! If you already have a browser on your phone you can navigate over to m.opera.com or you can visit our friends over at GetJar who have facilitated over 35 million downloads of Opera Mini as of this date.
