Seems like MS already has started the marketing campaign for WM 7, to be released 2009 and includes a PIE that will beat iPhone's web experience... http://www.gsmarena.com/hot_windows_mobile_7_insight-news-399.php MS strategy is to prevent users from switching, by promising them a better future, just around the corner. What's Opera strategy by not releasing Opera Mobile 9 beta ? Well, that’s history…

In fact, if Opera ships for iPhone, I can think about buying iPhone since it would mean Apple is open for real competition which really lacks from current one. ps: I know theoretically Opera can ship for iPhone right now but stock market listed companies does NOT hack other companies firmwares :) If that Apple iPhone SDK proves to be a real SDK, not a toy, Opera ASA can code Opera for iPhone and there could be a real competition.

If you are talking about the browser alone-YES. However, browsing on the iphone is not just about the browser, it is about the platform as well. The OS and the capabilities and the UI of the platform is superior to many mobiles, hence the feeling that Safari is better. What Opera does on mobiles is more remarkable than what Safari does on the iphone. @ Jadd: “Better than Safari?”
