Opera Software has extended its partnership with Amino. Amino now offers the Opera Browser as an option for shipments of its AmiNET110 set-top boxes, and will also work with Opera to integrate browser technology into next generation products. Opera 8.5 SDK was chosen for its faster performance, lower memory footprint, and support for advanced web-based user interfaces for IPTV.
The fast and full-featured Opera web browser offers a compelling surfing experience for users of Amino's IPTV set-top boxes, and Opera's leading compliance with open web standards enables the quick development of advanced, interoperable, cross-platform web applications and dynamic user interfaces.
'We are proud to partner with Amino and together address the increasing demand for full web browsing technology in the IPTV market', says Scott Hedrick, Executive Vice President, Opera Software.
'With Opera, Amino is able to enhance its IPTV offerings to include advanced features that are only possible through a standards-based, advanced web browser such as Opera'.
