Opera mobile browsers dump Yahoo for Google
Opera has given Yahoo the boot and made Google the default search engine for its Opera Mobile and Opera Mini Web browsers designed for mobile devices.
In January 2007, Yahoo and Opera announced that Yahoo would be the default search engine on Opera Mobile and Mini. Now, though, the mobile versions are getting what the desktop version of Opera has had for seven years--a built-in Google default.
Opera and Google "are extending this collaboration to give our users immediate access to the quality and convenience of Google's search results," Opera Chief Executive Jon von Tetzchner said in a statement Wednesday.
Google search will be presented as an option on the browsers' start pages--except in Russia and other former Soviet republics, Opera said.
Opera Mini can be downloaded for free on mobile phones, and Opera Mini users collectively browse 1.7 billion Web pages per month, the Oslo, Norway-based company said.

Re: Opera mobile browsers dump Yahoo for Google

Re: Opera mobile browsers dump Yahoo for Google
Good move.
The reason I still didn't use Opera 4 is because it has Yahoo. search.

Opera runs servers??  ???
How does Opera earn? Google pays Opera a lot! See the tie up? Mebbe Yahoo! refused to pay more so it went ahead with Google
