Opera offers new feature for free access to mobile Web apps

Norway's Opera, whose browser software has helped mobile operators sign up millions of users for free or low-cost Internet access, said on Tuesday it was introducing features that let operators offer subscribers free access to selected apps. For several years, Opera has been offering users of its Opera Mini browser access to free data on most mobile phones. What's different with the new feature, called Opera Max with App Pass, is that it is no longer confined solely to Opera browser users. In addition, many of the top handset makers in emerging markets have agreed to pre-load the Opera Max free data feature on their latest phone models, Opera said.
