New, vastly improved, free alternative Web browser Opera Mini 3.0 out!!

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.

Same here....

I'll try the new Mini version for now, as I'm still waiting for the free PDA version (all other Opera is free, why not the PDA version as well?)

I paid for the PDA version & it's very good - much better in my opinion than PIE; but, as has been said, why is it the only version that has to be paid for?

Also, Minimo is a great alternative if you only want a free browser.
