What I am reading:
Browser maker Opera Software is announcing a milestone today: 100 million people are now using Opera’s browsers. Interestingly, half of the audience are using the mobile version of Opera’s Browser, Opera Mini. As of March 2010, 50 million unique active users were browsing on Opera’s desktop offering on Windows, Mac and Linux computers and 50 million people were using Opera’s mobile browser. And out of the 100 million users, there’s not a single user that uses both desktop and mobile browser from Opera.
While user growth of Opera’s desktop offering has increased over 30 percent from last year, Opera Mini is growing much faster in terms of usage. In February, Opera Mini saw a 145 percent increase in users from the previous year. And Opera Mini’s growth is steady. Each month, the conclusion is always the same: mobile web usage around the world keeps on growing and growing. Clearly, the most significant growth is taking place in Opera’s mobile offering.
