RF9, I believe you must download the Flash plugin manually.

The screen shot above shows a YouTube video running in the browser window. But when I got to YouTube it say that I don’t have Flash installed.
What gives?
I am running the new 8.65 beta.

Also, they are currently working on making the Opera 9 core completely cross-platform

Isn’t that the case already since Wii uses Opera 9?

The beta /still/ has the screen garbling problem for WM2003 running on a Dell Axim x50v. I really wish they would spend the time and effort to figure out what the problem is, and fix it for the platform. The problem has been around for several versions with no plans for remediation, afaik.

I always find those non-committal answers quite humorous.

I understand the importance of not telling users an actual date, but I’ve come to find the way release dates are not stated to be rather funny…

Opera 9 for mobile is currently being worked on, however at this point it’s only being delivered to handset manufacturers, etc., not to end users. Opera 9 for users will be available at a later time.

Sorry guys about some of the comments being held for moderation, I was on vacation the past couple days. The method of moderation I currently use (by holding comments with certain keywords), I can’t distinguish comments by trusted users unfortunately.

BAMAToNE, it’s holding all of my comments in this article for moderation as well. If I remember right, anything that contains certain words (and/or HTML code) is held for moderation, and everything else is allowed through.

It’s better than when Daniel was using Akismet, and most of us couldn’t comment at all…

Also… why does it seem like all my comments are held up for screening? I should be exempt.

It didn’t change enough to increase the version number. Also, they are currently working on making the Opera 9 core completely cross-platform so that it works on mobile as well as desktop.

Currently, all of the mobile browsers are based on the Opera 8 rendering engine.

Robin: Opera 9 for Mobile is officially in the works, with a ton of new features, offering users even more choices on how they want to view webpages on small screens: http://www.opera.com/pressreleases/en/2007/02/12/

For now, I am really enjoying Opera Mobile 8.65 beta on my Sprint PPC-6700.
