Opera today announced its popular mobile browser, Opera Mini has been approved for iPhone and iPod touch on the App Store. Opera Mini will be available as a free download within 24 hours, depending on market.

Opera Mini, with more than 50 million users worldwide, enables fast mobile Web browsing by compressing data by up to 90 percent before sending content to the device, resulting in significantly improved page loading. Users of the app will notice an uptake in speed, especially on slower networks such as the 2G Edge network. Surfing the Web with the Opera Mini App on iPhone and iPod touch will also help users save money because of its data compression capabilities. This will hold especially true while the user is incurring roaming charges.

"We are delighted to offer iPhone and iPod touch users a great browsing experience with the Opera Mini App," said Lars Boilesen, CEO, Opera Software. "This app is another step toward Opera's goal of bringing the Web to more people in more places."

I've been really hoping this would be an improvement over what's currently available. I install it and the first page i open is iClarified - and it renders horribly. Text and images on top of each other, highliy pixilated graphics. Tried some other pages and they render better, but don't look as they do on Safari or on regular PC browser. Scrolling/dragging is jerky and a bit slow to respond. UI is great, but no groundbreaking or truly differentiating functionality. Big disappointment.
