    Opera on the iPhone - it's official!

    It's here!!

    http://itunes.apple.com/app/opera-mi...er/id363729560

    Wonder how long it will be before Apple find something about it that falls foul of the T&Cs?

    Re: Opera on the iPhone - it's official!

    Mini is in no way a Safari-killer. Its page rendering is much less attractive and desktop-like than Safari’s, and sometimes it’s just plain wrong. (Now that Mini is on the App Store, I hope that Opera continues to polish it up,) Like Safari, it doesn’t do Flash; unlike Safari, it also can’t play YouTube videos. Certain things about it feel a tad foreign on the iPhone, like its non-standard interface for copying text.

    Yeah I'm not a fan of Opera Mini on the android either - it's still a good thing though, all this.

    I don't really pay too much attention to the iPhone scene, but does this mean we may start seeing some others?

    No flash plugin, thats probably why it was approved.

    Its interesting as Apple gets alot of revenue from the google search in Safari, if people use Opera they will lose this.

    Really liked Opera mini on my Blackberry curve think it is more suited for non smartphones. iphone version is a bit poor, 2 zoom levels, no multi touch, dodgy rendering etc.
