An iPhone version of internet browser Opera Mini was downloaded more than one million times in its first day, according to Apple App Store figures.
Statistics show that yesterday the browser was downloaded onto 1,023,380 Apple devices.
Norway-based Opera Software said it has delivered up to six times the speed of other browsers in testing, especially on congested networks, along with significant webpage compression which allows users to keep roaming and pay-per-MB costs at a minimum.
Lars Boilesen, CEO of Opera Software, said: “Today iPhone users have a choice and, as the numbers show, they are eager to explore new and faster ways to surf the web on the iPhone – especially during heavy Web traffic.”
