In its third quarter financial results Opera revealed that it now has 30 million users of its desktop Opera browser. Nice.

For those of you keeping score at home, the usage is up by 40% since the end of 2007 and 55% in the past 12 months.

Some other desktop stats for you: Usage of the desktop browser in Russia, where Opera apparently has a 25% market share, has grown by 112% in the past 12 months, while Indonesia has grown by 115%.

Opera Mini, on the other hand, had 21 million users in October.

From The New York Times BITS blog,

Mr. von Tetzchner said that Opera’s engineers have developed a version of Opera Mini that can run on an Apple iPhone, but Apple won’t let the company release it because it competes with Apple’s own Safari browser.

There is a hot discussion going on about this in OSNews site.
