Opera today released the new beta of Opera Mini 4. The new beta version of Opera Mini 4 introduces several exclusive optimizations for BlackBerry devices, including a new user interface and menus for a more comfortable Opera Mini look and feel.

For all users, the new beta adds some often-requested features that improve usability and enjoyment. Opera Mini's new "Landscape mode" gives you a wider view of the page. A new multi-search Start Page makes searching even easier while on the go. The ability to add your own search engine to the Start Page, a feature pioneered in Opera's desktop browser, is now available in the latest beta of Opera Mini.

"We want to make Opera Mini available to even more users, so we've improved our support for BlackBerry," said Jon von Tetzchner, CEO of Opera. "Now the world's most popular mobile Web browser and most popular handhelds can work together. At the same time we recognize the incredible role our community has played in making Opera Mini as popular as it is. We're proud to offer some of the most requested features in this new beta as a present to you."
