Opera might be shunned as a browser from time to time, but according to the latest news, we find out that Opera Mobile for Android is almost ready to be launched and that it will feature some enhancements.

We don't have much information about next version of Opera Mobile, but we know that Opera Mobile 10.1 beta will introduce pinch-to-zoom feature. This is much anticipated feature because Android OS supports it, and it's great that we'll get the chance to see pinch-to-zoom in Opera. Besides pinch-to-zoom, we'll get quick loading times, smooth zooming, and scrolling through the webpages. We should also mention that zooming takes few moments to render, due to compression of Opera's software, but luckily, it doesn't take that long. Another interesting feature is the geolocation function that uses phone's GPS to find your location. As for the HTML 5 support, we don't know whether Opera Mobile for Android OS will use it, but we hope to see it.

As for the release date, we should see Opera Mobile for Android available on November 9th, that's tomorrow!
