After trying the Opera Mini for iPhone, here is my comment:
- Zoom is missing. You can’t use finger to zoom in/out the page. It makes it very hard to browse the full-size page from the phone.
- Poor support on JavaScript. Website that works fine on Safari doesn’t mean they will do fine on Opera Mini.
- Lack of support. Many iPhone-friendly websites do not support Opera mini.
Suggested headline news for Opera.com:
- There are over million of download of Opera Mini in 2 hours.
Suggested headline for Apple.com:
- Safari is still the best iPhone browser on the planet.
- 80% of the iPhone users remove the Opera Mini within 5 minutes.
- Since Opera Mini cannot do the zoom and render JavaScript correctly, it should be recalled and removed from the iPhone App store.
Suggested response to Opera:
- Opera Mini is still the 2nd best (and 2nd most popular) browser for iPhone on the planet.
- (Keep in mind that there are only two browsers for iPhone…)
