Opera Mini 5 for iPhone to be shown at the MWC

10 February, 2010
An opera browser on every mobile platform known to man - with Opera Mini for the iPhone and Opera Mobile 10 for Android, that seems an achievable goal. Opera will show beta versions of the two browsers...

Opera Mini for the iPhone are mostly positive. People, in particular, like the speed of the program (pages are loaded up to 6 times faster than Safari), which is achieved by ensuring that all traffic Opera Mini is compressed first (90%) on the server itself Opera. As it is shown in this video - http://www.techarena.in/video/34202-opera-mini-5-iphone-preview.htm

      I wonder if Maemo will get Opera mobile. The MicroB is one of the best i have used but the page compresion of Opera has no match in mobile or desktop browsers; it loads the page 3 or 4 times faster then any other browser especially on slow 2 and 2.5 GSM networks. Curently COSMOTE Romania has no 3G and the other 3 mobile operator (Orange, VOdafone, DIGI tel) have 3G but they have horibble voice plans.

        Symbian Rulez, 12 Feb 2010wow so overprice phone like isheep still need opera mini Lo... moreI'd rather use WebKit based Safari, you know WebKit developed by Apple and used by Nokia in their S60 browser.

        Opera Mini is for dumbphones like S40 phones.

                                Applications are what makes platforms useful and customisable.

                                The iPhone has over 140,000 easily accessible Apps by a simple touch on the screen.

                                        "320 x 480 pixels stretched to fit 3.5 inches so we can see those beautiful pixels when watching a film"

                                        You're thinking of other smartphones that don't have a dedicated format to display films. Argument over, you are clearly a troll.

                                        Anyway, I'm pleased that Opera is coming. I'm not knocking every other Smartphone, it's just that the iphone does everything from a dedicated platform. There's no 20 models a year using the same OS, and that's where the likes of Symbian fail.

                                        I'm looking forward to Android coming of age though, as it looks like a great OS, that may take some of the thunder from Apple's device. Windows Mobile is also looking tasty. The sad fact is that releasing newer more powerful devices by various companies means that an open source OS varies on each phone in quality and the divided app stores used by both network and operator ruins things.
