"After nearly 5 months of beta testing, Opera Software has released version 4 of its Opera Mini Web browser for mobile phones. The update includes iPhone-like capabilities that enable users to see a full overview of a page and zoom in to specific parts. When zooming, Opera Mini snaps to content so scrolling is smooth. A virtual mouse cursor aids users in moving down a page and selecting links, although the software resizes text and images to reduce the amount of scrolling required. These features were originally developed for Opera's browser on the Nintendo Wii."



More information is available at Opera's Mini page. Note that this isn't the same thing as Opera for Windows Mobile; rather, it's the J2ME client, but it will work on Pocket PCs. Some folks really like the Mini client; if you have a midlet manager on your Pocket PC, you can try it out as well.

Guys and gals, Opera Mini ROCKS. Go give it a try.

I've written a VERY comprehensive tutorial on installing and using it; see http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/foru...ic.php?t=57282

Any good midlet managers available?
I dont think I have one for my Palm 750 (not that I am aware of).

Jbed is by far the best. Check out my review & tutorial; in there, I've explained how it should be installed and used.

allow me to point out yet again....this thing runs circles around anything else out there. This is a must have on any platform and for all pocket pcs!

Agreed.. Opera mini is an awesome browser! I have been using 4 since it was released a few weeks ago, used the beta versions before that and also used 3.2 (or what ever number it was) before that. It is not a total replacement for pocket ie where email links and downloads and such are involved but it makes a great web viewing tool.

Love it.

I hope some of these features and changes make their way to Opera Mobile. It is a kind of a shame that the java midlet version is way better than the full blown WM software version. hehe.

I wanted to load it, but got an error message that the HP HW6900 is not supported. Bummer, I thought I might finally get a good internet browser.

Got it installed and working on my phone, Wow, much better than expected.

Two Thumbs up!

Is it possible to install this on a Dell Axim x50v running WM2003 SE??

What is midlet???

[rookcnu]

Should I go to Mini or stick with their Opera Mobile 8.65?

Which is better? Does it depend on the device? I use a Cingular 8125.

Thanks!
