(Btw, enable HTML5/WebM in the embed code, so don't need Flash to watch it in Opera 11.)

It should have two context menu command for opening tabs: one for opening ibn new tab and other to open a new tab on the background. :/

Opera Mini is a proxy that fetches a file from a server. The server converts a webpage made of html, js, images, css etc into a single zipped download file with a new file format understood by mini.
So it supports what the server chooses to understand. The server does not convert flash, or pdf files. It wont work perfectly with AJAX, and probably some of the newest HTML5 stuff.

Overall the browser looks stable and a lot better than Safari... I do prefer the Safari look though... Opera looks cheap and cheesy.
When released I'll give it a go and find out how good it is... But this video was a while ago... Is it even ever being released still?

Not at all dangerous, all that is done on the Opera servers is compressing the pages, and the logging of the domain (like facebook.com or microsoft.com (no other things about what you do on the site, than just the domains base url for stats) (State of the Mobile web report)
from With the compressed data you also get less data usage as it is compressed server side
You can get Opera Mini 5 right now in the iOS App Store (Opera Mini 6 is awaiting approval (which I am waiting for))
For me on the slow or crowed connections Opera Mini is more than 10 times faster, what is also cool is you can Sync it with Opera Link

sorry if they seem harsh ):
I was forced into using Google Chrome on my Mac Computer for a while... but finally I am happy with Opera on my Mac again (: I hope it's gonna be the same for iOS devices!
The current Opera Mini is very poor on the iPhone and worse on the iPad (due to being iPhone app)
So I am waiting patiently for the new browser as I enjoy the Opera experience! I know Opera can make the alternate browser!
As for the looks... Safari looks plain... not cheesey.
But I haven't seen the Opera app for myself... Maybe it's cus I'm not used to it? never the less if the app is better than Safari (I'm 99.99% it is! xD) I'll use it no matter what it looks like
And added... Thank god it's safe xD I read reports it can be dangerous... but I guess them reports talk trash
The future looks bright for Opera!
Thanks again!
