    Also, one more subtle dig at Google in OS4: in Safari the 'Google' button has been replaced with a generic 'Search'

    doesn't it change already based on what search browser you decide to use?

    In the search bar it says what search engine it is, but in previous OSs the actual button on the keyboard said "Google"

    The dedicated winky face button isn't that terrible an idea. At least it wouldn't be if it was on a touch screen keyboard and was on a context sensitive button that only displayed under certain circumstances like the .com button on the iPhone keyboard. If your users use winkies a lot it makes sense to give them a button dedicated to it. 80/20 pinciple and all that.

    Because it says "I emote so much I need a whole button especially for it"

    do you not emote ascot?

    are you a cold unfeeling robot devoid of all emotions?

    Opera Mini App approved for the App Store
    Oslo, Norway - April 13, 2010 - Opera today announced its popular mobile browser, Opera Mini has been approved for iPhone and iPod touch on the App Store. Opera Mini will be available as a free download within 24 hours, depending on market.
    Opera Mini, with more than 50 million users worldwide, enables fast mobile Web browsing by compressing data by up to 90 percent before sending content to the device, resulting in significantly improved page loading. Users of the app will notice an uptake in speed, especially on slower networks such as the 2G Edge network. Surfing the Web with the Opera Mini App on iPhone and iPod touch will also help users save money because of its data compression capabilities. This will hold especially true while the user is incurring roaming charges.
    "We are delighted to offer iPhone and iPod touch users a great browsing experience with the Opera Mini App," said Lars Boilesen, CEO, Opera Software. "This app is another step toward Opera's goal of bringing the Web to more people in more places."
    The Opera Mini App is available for free from the App Store on iPhone and iPod touch or at www.itunes.com/appstore/.


    SUCK ON THAT, BONGI

    I like that it loads multiple pages at once (which is supposed to be in OS4 but I can have it now) and the window manager not being silly is also good.

    Well I was trying to pinch/pull and it wasn't working

    Then after I made that post, I double-tapped and it worked, and pinch/pull worked.

    Weird.

    How odd, opera mini seems to only have one level of zoom for the forums, and auto correct doesnt seem to work. It also handles the "interia" when you scroll differently than safari.

    Like the tab switcher though
