Opera Data Usage
Opera has announced that Opera Mobile and Opera Mini have been updated to v11.5 and v6.5 respectively for Android devices and both are now available for download in Android Market.


Now Opera browsers will show you the amount of data that the browser has consumed and also how much it has saved which can also be related to amount of money it has helped in saving for you. Opera’s cloud-based Turbo technology reduces the size of a page by up to 90% and this in turn also saves a lot of your data. This data page can be easily accessed from the Help menu.

The new browsers are now more integrated into the Android OS and now you can easily transfer you bookmarks with the new handy bookmarks feature. Also now shortcuts for home-screen will allow users to access their most visited websites quickly thus saving their precious time too.

Weather apps are most profitable followed by Business in Android market [Research]

reaserch weather app
According to the latest report by Research2Guidance, a normal weather app at the Android market is the most profitable than any other app. At the end of August 2011 the average application had earned nearly $2500 since its publication. Nearly 25% of all apps downloaded in Android market are games but intense competition brings down the potential revenue of the app. So, the smallest category of Weather apps has generated by far the highest average revenue per app in the store.

There are already many apps and the use-case of the app is very specific, so further developing of new apps is difficult for developers. This brings developers to the Business category and this could be an optimal choice for them. It currently contains 7,000 apps and only 13% of them are paid; and users don’t mind paying for a good app.

Many other categories have very low average revenue, because users prefer to download free alternatives, or are not much willing to pay more than a dollar for ringtone or wallpaper download.
