Whether you prefer the full power of a browser or a lighter version of it, Opera has you covered. Opera is one of the most popular 3rd-party browsers for Android, up there with Dolphin and Skyfire, and it’s just gotten a bit better. Opera has just updated Opera Mobile to version 11.1 and Opera Mini to version 6.1, bringing a few improvements (mostly with regards to performance and interaction).

Aside from other helpful improvements (like auto-complete, better text selection, etc.), Opera Mobile 11.1 is beefed up by a new rendering engine. It’s called Opera Presto 2.8.149, and it further improves the speed and performance of the browser. By the way, it works great with honeycomb tablets.

For those who prefer a lighter, faster browser, Opera Mini has also been updated to version 6.1. Opera Mini 6.1′s browser engine works with Opera’s servers, compressing most of the data that would otherwise be fully downloaded. This process optimizes content for a smaller screen while making it faster and less data consuming.

Opera Mini 6.1 change log:

  • Added support for Google AutoComplete and Yandex Suggestions
  • Added ability to search directly from the address bar
  • Added support for country domain auto-complete (such as .ru or .id)

  • Added support for more font faces and sizes
  • Added support for Arabic, Hebrew and other RTL languages in menus
  • Improved text selection

Apps of the Day: Path, Zenonia 3

The Android Market can be an intimidating place, but we don’t think it should be. We scour dozens of new entries to the Market each day and feature the best and most anticipated entries here in our Apps of the Day. Today we have a social networking alternative where popularity isn’t based on how many friends you have and the latest sequel to a popular series of action/RPG games. Read on for more.

Path - Path is a social networking app designed with privacy in mind, keeping the number of people you can share photos and messages with capped at 50. That’s right, pick and choose wisely because 50 friends and/or family members are all you get. The idea is a lot like the Circles element of Google+, allowing you to feel a little more at ease knowing that only certain people can see what you share. Path is currently in public beta. [Market]

Zenonia 3 – The followup to popular action RPGs Zenonia and Zenonia 2, Zenonia 3 is really more of the same, but that isn’t a bad thing. Fans of the first two entries will feel right at home, but the latest iteration is bigger than ever with 227 maps and 136 unique quests. The game is currently available as a “freemium” app with in-app purchases available for complete character customization. [Market]

Google+ looks a bit like Facebook and acts a bit like Twitter. One great feature is that you can add ANYBODY to your Circles, even without them adding you. If they haven’t added you to a circle, you’ll only see posts and info they make public. Nonetheless if G+ becomes Twitterish we could be getting sneak peaks into the lives of some pretty cool people.

For your amusement we’ve created a list of Celebrity Google+ users with links to their profiles.

For obvious reasons, the “Tech Celebrities” are much larger in numbers and we’ve compiled some of them below:

Want to add Phandroid.com & AndroidForums.com staff G+ profiles to your circles? Find us below!

Leave links to Celebrities’ and Tech Celebrities’ G+ Profiles so we can add them to our list (above)! We’ll keep this post updated as more roll in and more celebs of all kinds start using the service.
