Opera has announced that it will integrate its highly popular Mobile 10 and Mini 5 web browsers into Qualcomm’s revamped BREW Mobile Platform, which will make it easier for carriers utilizing the platform to deploy and offer the browsers as either a branded offering from the carrier or as an optional download amongst the thousands of applications available via BREW-powered storefronts according to both Qualcomm and Opera.
Verizon has historically been the main driver of BREW services in the US, being the first to offer the platform with Qualcomm’s assistance in 2003, while AT&T has recently committed to offering the platform in future devices slated for launch earlier this year. Neither Opera nor Qualcomm have confirmed any devices launching with the BREW version of Opera Mobile 10 or Mini 5 at this time.
