LOL talk about overkill, though With 12GB of SD & CF memory, Opera mobile 8.65, and a Dell Axim X51v. It’d be alot easier on the back and a hell of alot lighter…

Opera Mini is good but Opera mobile has put the desktop esc power in my hand with the latest release. I really have few reasons to eye down my desktop’s Opera unless I’m home and near it. :p

I think both the Opera and the Mozilla staff are reasonable enough to gain good judgement on the needs and must-haves of mobile users. OTOH, Opera has a USP on small screen devices without much competition so I think it is quite fine for Opera to see it’s only relevant competitor lurk from far behind.

The “tone” of Mozilla team and their fans are the number one reason I stay away from that browser while crazily supporting Camino browser on OS X which is based on same engine.

Does it have something to do with the fact that Mozilla still couldn’t come up with a clean/compressed/zero redundancy engine like Opera did?

Don’t tell me I can run project something on a 1 gig RAM PDA, it doesn’t count as handheld.

Especially Wiki reference… I can’T imagine how many times I looked up to Wiki about something with my Cell phone using Mini. Not a surprising thing that Mini got Wiki search enabled by default.

Daniel, I got the same view on my 800 x 600. However, fit to width takes care of the issue

Hi Brendan,

As an Opera employee who was present at the talk, I know that you intended no disrespect towards Opera, so we’re all good

Regarding the mobile browsing experience, I use Opera on my devices all the time, and I find the experience to be pretty good, but I know it could be improved and I’m glad that my colleagues are working to do just that (and that devices are getting more powerful and usable all the time).

In my situation, I guess I’m more optimistic than most about the future of mobile browsing, but I agree that some skepticism is healthy too, especially with regards to specific visions of the future which may or may not bear fruit.

We might disagree a little bit about what people (in the US and elsewhere) want to do, actually do, and will eventually want to do using mobile browsers, but we can all agree that developing good browsers for devices is a difficult but worthwhile challenge (which is why Opera has Opera Mobile and Mini, and Mozilla has the Minimo project). In working towards an open Web, we’re all in this together.

Prior to SXSW, I had only talked to one Mozilla employee in person (Jessie Ruderman, and we got along well). Now, I know several more, and I’m happy to say they all seem like great and fun people, and I’m hopeful we can work together towards our common goals.

I think that we should consider other’s thoughts and stop critisizing unless we have more than one source and if in any event the publisher/speaker of the comment apoligises/rectifies his/her statement it should be accepted. I think we are all striving for a better web community and the Mobile market is rapidly becoming part of it and web standards are important!

Re. Mobile vision…

Obviously there is a market for mobile Web. One can’t leave home without it…

However, to improve Web experience, the pocket devices must be optimized for browsing. Larger single screens or small double screens, will do the trick (given more power and speed).

Opera has come a long way. MINI rocks on 240 x 320, DS shows huge potential, and M9 will close the gap further…

The vision becomes a reality, when the big players agree… there’s more fun surfing… at the beach
