Opera mini approved for iphone[views:2511][posts:30]________________________________ [Apr 13,2010 10:26am - sigh ""] Apple approved opera mini in the appstore. Free download. Much better than the default safari in my opinion. I'm surprised they didn't reject it. |
| _____________________________________ [Apr 13,2010 10:28am - arilliusbm ""] really? Might check that out. Not a huge fan of safari. too many elephants, not enough lions. |
| _________________________________ [Apr 13,2010 10:35am - zyklon ""] It's really fast, it doesn't support video though. |
| ________________________________ [Apr 13,2010 10:37am - sigh ""] It seems to load pages faster. Makes use of opera's "Compression Technology". The start page and tabbed browsing are kind of nice. |

| ________________________________ [Apr 13,2010 10:42am - aril ""] Sweet, it works |
| ________________________________ [Apr 13,2010 10:44am - aril ""] It didnt have an embedded youtube video in another thread. It was just blank. Also, looks like it doesnt have any spelling/grammar features |
| _____________________________________ [Apr 13,2010 10:45am - arilliusbm ""] it needs some tweaking. But it has potential. I'll wait for another version to fully use this |
| _______________________________________ [Apr 13,2010 10:48am - the_reverend ""] I installed it last night. sucked on the ipad. |

Also, looks like it doesnt have any spelling/grammar features I guess it doesn't support any kind of video yet. Regardless if that youtube video wasn't encoded for the iphone it wouldn't have worked anyway since youtube videos are flash video. |
| _____________________________________ [Apr 13,2010 10:50am - arilliusbm ""] Why no firefox? |
| ________________________________ [Apr 13,2010 10:53am - sigh ""] why no chrome? |
| _____________________________________ [Apr 13,2010 10:53am - arilliusbm ""] why no Netscape? |

| _____________________________________ [Apr 13,2010 11:02am - arilliusbm ""] early versions of Netscape weren't bad for the time. |
| _____________________________________ [Apr 13,2010 11:03am - RichHorror ""] Some said the same of Rogue Trader. THEY WERE WRONG. |
| _____________________________________________________ [Apr 13,2010 12:12pm - menstrual_sweatpants_disco ""] What does Opera mini have that Sarari doesn't? I'm seriously asking. I've used Opera on desktop and have only used Safari on iPhone briefly. |

| ____________________________________ [Apr 13,2010 1:17pm - arilliusbm ""] hahaha. Also , I've always wanted to know: who the fuck took a bite out of the apple?? McGruff and Scruff taking a bite out of crime? FUCK YOU! |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 13,2010 1:20pm - the_reverend ""] I want firefox with xmarks. |

I've used Opera on desktop and have only used Safari on iPhone briefly. The main advantage to some people is that when you request a web page the traffic is routed through opera's servers. The page is rendered on the server and then passed on to you as an image instead of a web page. They claim the images can be 90% smaller in terms of data, saving on bandwidth/data usage costs and page load times. No video support is a Fail in my book though. Maybe in the next version... |
