When is the Opera mini coming to the iPhone ??

That’s because it wasn’t designed for Android. Apparently something designed for Android is coming.

The difference is that Farmville encourages users to spam their friends to unlock more crap they can build their farm with.

Opera Mini is something you consciously download, and not because a friend of yours wants you to register once and never use it again because he wants more crops to use in the game.

There are also other reasons why the comparison is completely crazy, such as the fact that Farmville will be accessed every time someone logs into Facebook.

Opera is one of the most popular browsers on BlackBerries. But the BlackBerry has a rather pathetic market share world-wide.

Doesn’t render pages? It renders pages fine here.

Uh, Opera Mini renders pages much more accurately than WebKit. Especially WebKit on Nokia phones.

Also, remember, there is no “WebKit”:

That’s 15 pages per user daily. Pretty decent. They are doing a good job. Have been a opera user since v4. ( desktop)

Compressing HTML is good for everyone. Maybe not the adveriaera thought

I’m using Opera mini on an Android device and I’m quite disappointed about the way it is implemented. I think the Android version isn’t user friendly nor intuitive compared to the rest of the OS. It just doesn’t fit in…

32 million active users?

That’s just about 50% more than Farmville that launched four months ago. And I’ll bet Farmville generates more than 500m views per day.

Just some perspective on scale.

Indeed.

OperaMini is more about serving web pages to low end smart phones though. I found it also makes huge different on the amount of data transferred over the network, as the webpages are rendered on the server side first. Great for those of us who do not have unmetred wireless Internet.

I think Opera uses “popular” in the sense that people choose to download Opera Mini. Almost every phone comes with a browser. Netfront has shipped more than 600 million Web browsers on phones, yet they fall to 6th place in the market share rankings.

BTW, Opera comes first in this ranking of mobile browsers: http://gs.statcounter.com/#mobile_browser-ww-monthly-200910-200910-bar

They have tabbed browsing in Opera Mini 5. You can get it here: http://www.opera.com/mini/next/

I wonder how many opera browsers came installed, verses blackberry browsers in use, verses safari/iphone, verses nokia, etc?

Your statements above have a lot of hyperbole and are kind of short on facts. If you would, do a numbers comparison? It would be very helpful in assessing whether Opera is one of the most popular mobile browsers.

Since it’s so difficult to install/use in the Blackberry, and those kind of blow away much of the market share, I doubt Opera is one of the biggest browers in use.

But I’d love to see a real assessment of browser usage in mobile, and within continents as well.

Thanks,

Opera Mini is still concerned about serving pages to devices w/o touchscreens and typically weaker CPU/mem than the iPhone & n97. There’s no point in competing with the iPhone browser because apple won’t allow other browsers.

To compare Opera Mini you have to look at no touchscreen mobile browsers.

I use it but they need to give away tabbed browsing in the free version.

If I’m to use McDonald’s free wifi in the UK on my SonyEricsson, one tab is required to be kept open, so tabbed browsing is a must. At the minute for this I use the Asian UCWeb and I’m not aware of another free non-smart phone web browswer offering tabs.

I think Opera has already surpassed IE and firefox in number of active users in India.
