Opera for Pocket PC Screenshots!

Finally we have some Opera for Pocket PC screenshots to devour while we wait for this great browser! It comes with some nice commentary, and proof that people still use QVGA (props to Opera for keeping support for the vast majority of Pocket PC users!). It's looking great, it doesn't render things amazingly, but I'll be damned, they are still the easiet to read. I can't wait!

Wow, Opera looks great. I can't wait to see what it'll look like on VGA.

I think NetFront v3.3 on VGA renders pages way better than the QVGA used in that review, at least on my x50v.

About Pocket IE:
Quote:
It also screws up the text further down the page, compacting it onto one word per line, and making it totally unreadable.
Really should say that it is functionally unreadable, as each word is visible, and in correct order. And I do look forward to a decent pocket-rendering browser. I like Minimo for being essentially a desktop browser emulator, but it is quite clunky, slow, and resource-hungry at this time.

Being in the midst of moving from my trusty Zaurus (Linux PDA) to a x51r, one of the applications I expected to miss the most was Opera on the PDA.

I'm happy that this won't be the case!

Definitely feeling like the kid in the candy store!

Here's some new ones of it running on the W-Zero 3. Unfortunately they are in Japanese and really don't give any sort of indication what the interface is like except the address bar. I can say I am glad there is a toolbar on the address bar however, the horrid WM5 two button menu navigation system would have gotten quite annoying, as the WM2003 version of Opera appears to use this as well.

Very nice. It's a shame I only have WM2003, as yes, people have gotten Opera to run on any WM5 device. Now I have to wait for the much delayed official release.

I have it on my device.
I absolutely love Opera for PocketPC. It has many great features and doesn't double pixel everything. You can have unlimited windows, fullscreen support, bookmarking, downloading and much more :).
Great piece of software.

The final released version supposedly does. The hacked version, unfortunately, does not.
