I’ve published many articles on the previous versions of the great browsing alternative, the Midlet-based Opera Mini. (See for example
this complete tutorial on installing version 2.0.).
The new features it includes (the complete list is
also available here):
RSS, sharing, improved speed etc. This means you WILL want to upgrade to it.
If you would only want to see how it works without actually installing it on your device, check out
the online emulator.
Installation
It should be installed in exactly the same way as 2.0; therefore, please see
the tutorial for 2.0 (see section “
A step-by-step Tutorial on setting up Opera Mini”). Also note that if you want to install it for the latest IBM J9 midlet environment, you will also want to read
this.
Verdict
Go get it if you already are an Opera Mini user. If you aren’t, go check out
my Web browsing-related articles to see how it compares to other Web browsers on the Pocket PC.
