Download Any File or Web Page with Opera Mini 4.1 Beta

Opera has released a new beta version of their Mini browser for cell phones and PDAs that includes pretty serious improvements for anyone who’s serious about their hand-held browsing—namely, actual file downloading, uploading to select online services like Flickr and Gmail, and saving of web pages for offline access. Previous versions of Mini, like most mobile browsers, could only handle files that the browser or the device itself knew what to do with, but Mini now lets you save files and web pages to the device’s storage, assuming it has a working version of the JSR-75 access protocol running in the background. Opera also threw in page-based “Find” searching and claims its server-based page cache is running 50 percent faster in recent tests. Opera Mini 4.1 beta is a free download for most devices that work with Java.
