Opera Software today announced Opera 8.5 for TVs, set-top boxes, consumer electronics and other devices. OEMs and operators can now include an optimized full Internet experience and an execution environment for Web applications and user interfaces on a wide range of devices.

In addition to full Internet support and the fast creation of Web applications, Opera 8.5 for Devices offers the same flexibility and functionality as the renowned Opera 8.5 for desktop computers and mobile phones. Sporting Opera’s Extensible Rendering Architecture (ERA), Opera re-formats Internet pages to suit any screen size, and uses spatial navigation to easily navigate pages with any input device.

“Opera 8.5 for Devices is a one-of-a-kind product for the device market,” says Michael Link, product manager, Opera Software. “We see the increasing demand for a full Internet browser on a wide range of devices, and we are meeting that demand with not only a superior surfing experience but also by providing a solution for quickly implementing advanced Web applications on anything from in-flight entertainment systems in airplanes to next generation networked media players.”
