Opera Software has announced that its Opera Mobile browser is now available for mobile phones running the Android operating system.

The Opera browser is best known for its support of devices other than PCs. It already runs on the Nintendo DS, iPhone, iPod, iPad, Nintendo Wii and Blackberry.

"Android users now have a better choice when it comes to using a browser on their mobile devices," said Lars Boilesen, CEO, Opera Software. "With Opera's new browser for Android, we give users the opportunity to access the web, using the best tools available."

Features include location-based search, the ability to synchronise bookmarks with other devices running Opera and a function to set it as the default browser on the phone.

Opera Mini for Android will run on any Android device that runs Android 1.6 or above, and is available now from the Android Market.
