Today, the Opera Mini 6 browser for iOS joined the Opera band and is available to download for free from the Apple App Store for iPhone and iPad.

The Opera Mini mobile browser features up to 90% compression of data traffic for speed and cost savings, making both users' patience and wallet happy on slower connections or when roaming.

For iPhone 4 users, the new browser adapts to the high resolution and changes the user interface to accommodate the screen size. The Opera Mini 6 browser will also switch to a more convenient view for tablet handling (iPad.)

Like the rest of the Opera Mini 6 lineup, the iOS version features:

- Faster and smoother panning and zooming
- Share buttons to share on My Opera, Facebook, Twitter or vKontakte right from the browser
- New skin and redesigned Opera menus

Backstage, Opera's engineers have made the browser faster during scrolling and panning. On iOS, the Opera Mini 6 browser is submitted as a single download for all iOS devices.
