Africa Com

November 11, 2009 · by Espen André Øverdahl

Opera is in Cape Town, South Africa this week exhibiting at Africa Com. This is the first time Opera has a booth at the show to feature Opera Turbo and Opera Mini. We are showing a variety of handsets running multiple versions of Opera Mini to ideally run in a market with many more basic feature phones used than smartphones.

We are running Opera Mini 3 to Opera Mini 5 beta to showcase the adaptability of Opera Mini. Also part of the booth is a netbook to display the benefits of Opera Turbo for users on a congested network. Opera already has a growing presence in Africa with South Africa consistently in the top ten list on our State of the Mobile Web report.

With our presence at the show we hope to meet new African operators that want to give their customers the best browsing experience available.

Here's a photo from our booth:
