After almost three months in beta, Opera has released a final version of Opera Mini 4.2 with new features for the T-Mobile G1.

The new features consist of SD card access for uploading and downloading files with the possibility to save pages locally, video playback with Opera Mini using the operating system video player, double tapping works to zoom in/out, inline url entry instead of using the native textbox, a fix for password text entry to show hidden characters if needed, fixed issues with closing application when back button was pressed, improved trackball speed, enabling the use of Extra Large font in the built in pages, among more small changes and fixes.

The new version is available now from the Android Marketplace for free.
