  *Opera 6.02 for Windows released*
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Today, Opera Software launched the latest update to its Opera 6 desktop
browser, Opera 6.02 for Windows. This new version enhances many of the
existing features, boosts speed, adds new integrated searches
with eBay and Download.com in the Personal bar, and incorporates several
improvements to the popular Opera 6 for Windows.

Opera 6.02 for Windows also introduces an SMS (Short Messaging Service)
panel, which lets users send text messages to mobile phones directly
from the browser.  This SMS module is currently only available in Norway,
but will expand to other countries in future releases of Opera.
