Opera Software CEO Jon von Tezchner hinted that their Opera mobile browser might be coming to the Android platform. Just to be clear this is the full blown Opera mobile browser and not the already available Opera mini.

As an update to yesterday’s report, Opera announced their supposedly game changing web experience through Opera Unite. So what’s all this hoopla about “reinventing the web”?
Basically, they’ve built a web browser with web server capabilities.
This means you can host applications such as a media jukebox or a file sharing app without the configuration hassles of a dedicated web server. Rather than going to a music streaming site such as Pandora you can hook directly up to a friend’s computer running Opera Unite to listen to their music. Or you can work on a shared Word document located on a buddy’s PC without using online services such as Google Apps.
What’s cool is that anyone can develop applications, a.k.a Opera Unite services, to run on this platform. So let’s say you develop a custom application that keeps track of your finances. Host it on Opera Unite and you can login remotely from your internet connected cell phone and see what your significant other is racking up.
Download the alpha build here.

According to the folks at Opera, they have something big planned for the 16th of June. Re-inventing the web? Eh, perhaps, but it’s more likely they’ll be releasing the much anticipated Opera 10 final. I guess we’ll just have to wait until the 16th to have our lives changed as we know it…
