It seems like no one really knows about it but it's way faster than stock browser and absolutely destroys Dolphin.

xScope has tabs that work really well, allows you to download files from the browser! and it has a file manager too that can come in handy if your not already using something like Astro. ]]>Mar 11th 2010 10:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/opera-mini-5-on-android-mini-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/opera-mini-5-on-android-mini-review/Mar 11th 2010 10:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/opera-mini-5-on-android-mini-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/opera-mini-5-on-android-mini-review/Mar 11th 2010 11:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/opera-mini-5-on-android-mini-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/opera-mini-5-on-android-mini-review/Mar 11th 2010 11:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/opera-mini-5-on-android-mini-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/opera-mini-5-on-android-mini-review/Mar 11th 2010 11:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/opera-mini-5-on-android-mini-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/opera-mini-5-on-android-mini-review/
For example, could you imagine today's Fortune 500 operating without an IT department given the complexity of present technology? Of course not. Should one of the goals of those who intro new technologies be to eliminate the IT department? Why of course.

At the end of the day, how much better is one modern browser over another? Is there enough of a difference to justify the complexity of installing and managing multiple browsers for the general computing population? On a computer, OK. On a phone, probably not. Do we really want to make the same mistakes all over again?]]>Mar 11th 2010 12:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/opera-mini-5-on-android-mini-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/opera-mini-5-on-android-mini-review/Mar 11th 2010 12:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/opera-mini-5-on-android-mini-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/opera-mini-5-on-android-mini-review/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sUAYyUQRb4Y&feature=player_embedded

I tried this and its not good enough to replace the default browser, or even Dolphin for that matter... but its page loads are so fast that I'm keeping it around to use when I'm stuck out in the boonies on some hideously weak edge connection. That's when this server side rendering trick will really pay dividends.]]>Mar 11th 2010 2:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/opera-mini-5-on-android-mini-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/opera-mini-5-on-android-mini-review/Mar 11th 2010 9:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/opera-mini-5-on-android-mini-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/opera-mini-5-on-android-mini-review/

You can get many various custom ROMs there. Some are using the stock build that leaked a while ago and is supposedly the same version that is going to hit Droids soon. Others use that ROM as a base and customize it from there.]]>Mar 11th 2010 1:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/opera-mini-5-on-android-mini-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/opera-mini-5-on-android-mini-review/Mar 11th 2010 9:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/opera-mini-5-on-android-mini-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/opera-mini-5-on-android-mini-review/Mar 11th 2010 9:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/opera-mini-5-on-android-mini-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/opera-mini-5-on-android-mini-review/Opera browser doesn't support multitouch at the moment.]]>Mar 11th 2010 10:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/opera-mini-5-on-android-mini-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/opera-mini-5-on-android-mini-review/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TUrsL_aoiF0

Although I read that some people managed to make it work in Mini with a tweak.. (google it).]]>Mar 11th 2010 12:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/opera-mini-5-on-android-mini-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/opera-mini-5-on-android-mini-review/Meanwhile, Dolphin Browser (on older Android version) or even the default browser (on 2.1) are pretty good.]]>Mar 11th 2010 9:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/opera-mini-5-on-android-mini-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/opera-mini-5-on-android-mini-review/
If it's not clear what I'm asking...I mean, for example, can I just select an image on a page and choose to view just that image in full quality? Or, as I suspect, if there's an image I want to see more detail of do I need to change my settings and redownload the whole page and then change my settings back when I'm done?]]>Mar 11th 2010 9:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/opera-mini-5-on-android-mini-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/opera-mini-5-on-android-mini-review/
just highlight the image then go to view image which shows images full size, or just use medium or high quality image settings instead, how you do it varys (different phone types and OSs)]]>Mar 11th 2010 9:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/opera-mini-5-on-android-mini-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/opera-mini-5-on-android-mini-review/Mar 11th 2010 10:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/opera-mini-5-on-android-mini-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/opera-mini-5-on-android-mini-review/
Also can someone load it onto a Nexus One, to see if its any faster?]]>Mar 11th 2010 10:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/opera-mini-5-on-android-mini-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/opera-mini-5-on-android-mini-review/Mar 11th 2010 9:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/opera-mini-5-on-android-mini-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/opera-mini-5-on-android-mini-review/
also, i would really like to use it as my default browser! idk what they call it when you program in androids dalvik vm, but i should be able to set it as the default browser!!!

not that they're listening to me or anything...]]>Mar 11th 2010 3:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/opera-mini-5-on-android-mini-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/opera-mini-5-on-android-mini-review/Mar 11th 2010 9:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/opera-mini-5-on-android-mini-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/opera-mini-5-on-android-mini-review/+1 Doesn't provide enough value-added to make me switch from default browser on N1. Zooming UI isn't as good although the tab interface is nice. Shows you the page is done rendering, but the images aren't there... well then it's NOT actually done rendering then is it? ]]>Mar 11th 2010 10:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/opera-mini-5-on-android-mini-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/opera-mini-5-on-android-mini-review/
No ,but the skeleton of the page is there for scrolling and browsing. Some other mobile browsers make you wait for the entire page to load before you can scroll or do anything.

On windows mobile I never really liked Opera Mini either, but Opera Mobile was excellent. I wish they had released that instead.]]>Mar 11th 2010 11:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/opera-mini-5-on-android-mini-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/opera-mini-5-on-android-mini-review/
How does it "own" it? Opera Mini is clearly faster and more polished.]]>Mar 11th 2010 11:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/opera-mini-5-on-android-mini-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/opera-mini-5-on-android-mini-review/Mar 11th 2010 9:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/opera-mini-5-on-android-mini-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/opera-mini-5-on-android-mini-review/
