By now, I assume you’ve heard that Opera Software will soon be bringing its full-fledged mobile browser product, Opera Mobile, to Android Market for people to download and use free of charge.

Note that it differs from Opera Mini for Android, which is a special kind of browser that renders web pages from Opera’s servers rather than natively on the handset.

Opera is running some test builds on select Android smartphones, and this morning I caught up with Opera Mobile & Devices product manager Phillip Grønvold for a quick interview and a demo on a Samsung Galaxy S phone, which I captured on video:
