I just start it, and in seconds all the information I look up most often is right there. So unless there's something super awesome about Opera mini 5b, I don't think I'll be switching.]]>Mar 4th 2010 6:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/04/opera-mini-5-beta-shuns-java-for-windows-mobile-version/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/04/opera-mini-5-beta-shuns-java-for-windows-mobile-version/Mar 4th 2010 7:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/04/opera-mini-5-beta-shuns-java-for-windows-mobile-version/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/04/opera-mini-5-beta-shuns-java-for-windows-mobile-version/Mar 4th 2010 8:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/04/opera-mini-5-beta-shuns-java-for-windows-mobile-version/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/04/opera-mini-5-beta-shuns-java-for-windows-mobile-version/Mar 4th 2010 8:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/04/opera-mini-5-beta-shuns-java-for-windows-mobile-version/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/04/opera-mini-5-beta-shuns-java-for-windows-mobile-version/
First, unlike what I would've expected from Opera Mini, this version is no good for non-touchscreen devices, as UI navigation via keypad/d-pad doesn't work. Also, I still will rather have all the processing done on my device. Using OperaMini (or Skyfire, or similarly-made browsers) for stuff like online banking is not private and secure enough.

That said, going JAVA-less is a step in the right direction!]]>Mar 5th 2010 12:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/04/opera-mini-5-beta-shuns-java-for-windows-mobile-version/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/04/opera-mini-5-beta-shuns-java-for-windows-mobile-version/Mar 10th 2010 5:48PM
