Already fighting and going around restrictions to try to get it installed on my BB8310... No, they won't keep me away!

awesome, I am quite happy for flash in mobile. But I will be more happy if html5 video would be available
Also redirect to to youtube app from o-mini is quite handy

Just installed Opera Mobile 11 over the 'ol 10 beta on Android.

Love the look of the Opera button in the corner, and like having flash available in the browser!

Kudos

when opera release opera mobile 11 & operamini 6 for wm6?
FulerenicTuesday, March 22, 2011 8:02:36 AM
Hey, where is version for Windows Mobile 6.5?! Many people still have smartphones with this system, HTC Diamond and HTC HD2 are popular and not so old devices. Why do you support Symbian S60 (old crapware with really weak hardware) or exotic MeeGo (very rare system, which will never be popular). I'm very disappointed with this. And desktop Opera still adds crazy features, but not repair old bugs, I'm going to try Firefox 4.

Does that mean that flash is only availible on opera team's favorite plattform (android) ?

It depends if the device is flash enabled or not. We don't make the flash plugin for phones, but we use it on phones where flash is available.

Hell yeah!

I just installed Opera Mobile 11, and the text rendering is way better!

I'll go to bed (cuz it's 2:13 am) and I'll keep trying tomorrow. I'm so exited! Yay !!

I'm really happy with Mini and Mobile for Android. Especially Mobile 11 is much better than 10.1 Beta for Android. Congratulations to the developers and everyone behind the development of Mini/Mobile

I'm also very disappointed with this. "The biggest band on Earth" - hahaha, very funny...

Anybody tried Opera Mobile 11 for Win 7? I just did and it's just crazy

Hope that Opera for iPhone (with retina support) will soon be out, too!

Why Opera mini in the samsung corby wi-fi ( gt-m5650) still has the java keyboard?

Support for H.264 but not for WebM?

"It depends if the device is flash enabled or not. We don't make the flash plugin for phones, but we use it on phones where flash is available."

But not for Symbian and Flash Lite, right?
Btw. Is there any way to use the quote feature in this blog with Opera Mobile?

Hardware limitations, I think. This should change with newer phones and (possibly) newer Flash.

I REALLY LIKE OPERA MINI..BUT WHY CANT THEY IMPROVE THE FEATURES LIKE....WATCHING ONLINE VIDEOS VIA OPERAMINI?....(FLASH PLAYER BY ITS SELF)...PLEASE ADD THAT ON OPERA.12.1

It lets you use the phone's own player. Opera Mini itself won't support video because the whole point of Opera Mini is to save bandwidth.

its great and be useful for many more.
JsamlovThursday, March 24, 2011 9:18:08 PM

Any chance of having the Tablet interface of Opera Mobile on Android 2.2 Tablets, such as the Archos Gen8's (e.g. A70, A101)?

At the moment I'm getting the usual Opera Mobile interface which has pretty large buttons for my 7" screen.

That's true. I'm one of those! I just hope there's a new release for WM 6.x coming soon!
