Opera Mobile 9.5 with Gears Preview

Opera Software has made available a preview edition of Opera Mobile that comes with support for Google Gears.

Google Gears is a powerful application that enhances the capabilities of online web services. It powers offline Gmail in addition to a lot of other services.

Gears is incidentally already available on a variety of other web browsers including: Firefox 1.5+, IE 6.0+, Internet Explorer Mobile 4.01+, Safari 3.1.1, and Google Android.

On the mobile front, Gears enables smooth operation of online sites by providing offline cache.

Opera spoke about Gears support in Opera Mobile 9.5 technology preview build: “Installing Gears is pretty easy. Install our Opera Mobile 9.5 technology preview build, go to the Gears web site and click the “Install Gears” button. This makes all the Gears APIs available, so users can take advantage of advanced functionality when they surf to Gears-enabled web sites.”
