Opera launches brand new mobile app store, developer portal

Opera opened a new mobile app store that works across most major mobile platforms.

According to Mashable, the Opera Mobile Store’s collection of mobile apps contains software for Android and BlackBerry devices as well as devices with Palm, Symbian, Windows Mobile and Java OSes. iOS and Linux-based mobile OSes are the only notable exceptions.

Opera VP Mahi di Silva told “In the past, we’ve focused on developing the best and most widely used browser, and we’re now expanding into services. We’re creating a service for users, but we’re also creating a device-agnostic app store for developers so they can not only reach the 100 million who use Opera’s mobile browser but people who use any browser.”

The company has also launched a developer portal for mobile developers who want to publish their app to multiple platforms at once.
