MWC: Industry Awaits Microsoft, Google, Nokia Announcements

Opera Software ASA, designers of the cross-platform mobile browser Opera, announced plans for a sneak preview of Opera Mini for iPhone in a press and partner preview during the convention. The company noted while Mini for iPhone is not publicly available, Opera will unveil a host of other Opera-powered devices at its exhibit, including Opera Mobile 10 beta 3 on Symbian S60 and Windows Mobile handsets and Opera Mobile 10 beta running on Google Android handsets.

Opera also announced a series of speaking engagements during the convention, including a panel discussion on “Mobile Web developments, W3C standards, using Web APIs and the live creation of widgets” and a presentation on “Creating a connected cloud for the perfect mobile storm.” The company will also be presenting Opera Mini 5 beta, running on a variety of handsets and platforms and Opera’s cross-platform Widgets Manager beta, running on Windows Mobile and S60 handsets.

In January it was reported that Garmin-Asus is preparing to launch an Android-based handset, along with a Windows Mobile 6.5.3 smartphone called the M10. Motorola is also rumoured to be launching the Android-powered Moto Zeppelin.

Last but not least, there’s been chatter about a possible Zune phone from Microsoft, which would likely come packaged with the expected Windows Mobile 7 announcement.
