Opera Coast Browser Released for iPhone

Opera has released its new 'Coast' browser for the iPhone and iPod touch.

Our app won't change your life forever. It won’t buy you a new car or make sure your best friend doesn’t fall for your girl. But, that's not all that life is about. It's about the details, the fleeting moments that can make or break your day, and there's no better browser to help you pass the time at the bus stop or escape for a little longer to the restroom. Opera Coast looks great, it feels great and it delivers the content you want.

Features:
- Throw away your expectations. Browsers have been the same for 20 years and their conventions get in the way. Opera Coast's design will shock you and leave you wondering why you haven't had a browser like this before.
- Make browsing exciting. Everyone loves their iThingy for the high quality graphics and quick animations. Your browser should feel the same way.
- Stay up-to-date with the sites you love or stumble all the way out to the edge of the net. Search the web, and, while you type, we'll suggest some sites for you. You know, in case you need to avoid work a little longer.
- Get Opera Coast for your both your iPad and iPhone and it'll sync what you find on the web between your devices.
