Browser firm Opera Software will introduce next week a version of its Mini browser for Apple's iPhone, the Norwegian firm said on Wednesday.

Opera said it would show the browser -- which promises up to six times faster download speeds than Apple's own browser, and up to 10 times smaller data traffic -- next week at the Mobile World Congress trade show in Barcelona. We have not submitted it yet to the Apple App Store. However, we hope that Apple will not deny their users a choice in Web browsing experience, said Jon von Tetzchner, co-founder of Opera.
