one thing about the opera mini 5 and opera mobile that really pisses me off is how difficult it is to get to the apostrophe button especially with touch screen phones. Apart from that, opera rocks!!

"Another app to kill the iphone"
LOL, only another 90,000 to go until Android catches up. And Opera is coming to the iphone as well.
Accept it people, the iphone is the best software supported phone in the world. Unless one of the big phone companies release something innovative and support just one OS, then this won't change for a long time.

And yes! Another app to kill the iPhone!
Opera Mini talks about speed and nothing else. And its native, it means it will not lag on the Droid, thus it will become faster.
Opera Mini is the fastest mobile browser, speedier than the most browser.
Oh yeah, did I mention about speed?
I should get paid by this, but no. Opera Mini is FREE!

This is great. No slow Java. Excellent option when there is no 3G or WiFi or unlimited data plan.

THIS A LITTLE ABOUT THE HISTORY OF MULTITOUCH
The use of touch technology to control electronic devices predates the personal computer. Early synthesizer and electronic instrument builders like Hugh Le Caine and Bob Moog experimented with using touch-sensitive capacitance sensors to control the sounds made by their instruments.[4] IBM began building the first touch screens in the late '60's, and, in 1972, Control Data released the PLATO IV computer, a terminal used for educational purposes that employed single-touch points in a 16x16 array as its user interface.[4]
Multi-touch technology began in 1982, when the University of Toronto's Input Research Group developed the first human-input multi-touch system. The system used a frosted-glass panel with a camera placed behind the glass. When a finger or several fingers pressed on the glass, the camera would detect the action as one or more black spots on an otherwise white background, allowing it to be registered as an input. Since the size of a dot was dependent on pressure (how hard the person was pressing on the glass), the system was somewhat pressure-sensitive as well.[4]
In 1983, Bell Labs at Murray Hill published a comprehensive discussion of touch-screen based interfaces.[5] In 1984, Bell Labs engineered a touch screen that could change images with more than one hand. In 1985, the University of Toronto group including Bill Buxton developed a multi-touch tablet that used capacitance rather than bulky camera-based optical sensing systems.[4]
A breakthrough occurred in 1991, when Pierre Wellner published a paper on his multi-touch “Digital Desk”, which supported multi-finger and pinching motions.[6][7]
Various companies expanded upon these inventions in the beginning of the twenty-first century. Mainstream exposure to multi-touch technology occurred in the year 2007, when Apple unveiled the iPhone and Microsoft followed after with the unveiling of their Microsoft Surface table-top touch platform.
