Opera Software launches Opera Mini for Samsung Galaxy S

According to an Opera Software announcement, the Opera Mini mobile browser will now come preloaded on Galaxy S smartphones. The browser will be pre installed on the smartphone in select markets initially, and can also be downloaded from Opera's website.
Samsung has been one of the top partners for Opera since 2006, launching numerous Opera-powered handsets. Now Opera Mini, which is among the fastest and most popular browsers, can bring a smooth web browsing experience to Samsung's Galaxy S.
Opera Mini performs efficiently on mobile devices because it can compress web pages by about 90 per cent, thus initiating them to load faster.
The data load is also drastically reduced, which means lower browsing costs for users (especially useful when the user is roaming). Opera Mini already boasts of having 76.3 million monthly users across the world.
However, some users exposed to other operating systems and browsers suggest that while Opera Mini is faster than Internet Explorer Mobile, it is not comprehensive or detailed like Skyfire is.
The good part of Opera Mini is that the address bar can be accessed directly in Opera Mini whereas accessing the address bar on the Android browser is a cumbersome process.
