Though Opera may only see iterations of its mobile browsers maintain a truly popular presence among Web users, while its standard desktop-based client holds a significantly smaller portion of its respective market, the company is pressing forth with development across its entirely lineup. This week marks Opera’s pledge to support Google’s increasingly useful Gears engine, which helps to bridge and synchronize software created for both online and offline use.
While Gears, which recently celebrated its first anniversary in public operation and had its name changed to Gears only, has been available for many months as a desktop offering for Firefox and Internet Explorer users on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux platforms alike, only in early March of this year did Google make Gears available for mobile use. And Opera seems to be wasting little time in capitalizing on that newly available development. The company says it intends to make the next release of Opera Mobile, designated version 9.5, compatible with Gears.
