Currently there is only an estimated 28% of Android devices in use that are capable of taking full advantage of these services. This is due to the fact that lower Android versions browser does not support HTML5, although the gears requirement is meet.

Opera is expected to make an announcement at MWC introducing a new version of their Android App. There should be a lot of new features added that aims to enhance your mobile web browsing experience.

Just the other day, AT&T announced that it was able to work with Sling Media in order to optimize Sling player for AT&T’s 3G network.
