The other mobile browser

Opera Mini on Windows Mobile got a glowing review at ZDnet:

<blockquote>
    <p><span class="caps">IMHO</span>, Opera Mobile 9.5 is even better than the iPhone’s Safari browser because I can perform functions like text selection, copy and paste, manage passwords, and save or send images from a web page.</p>
</blockquote>


<p>Cool features include:</p>


<blockquote>
    <p>However, Opera Mobile 9.5 takes that experience to the next level with quick context-sensitive zooming (called Opera Zoom), fluid finger scrolling and panning, multiple tabbed browsing, ability to save pages for offline viewing, fast page loading, Flash Lite 3 support, and more.</p>
</blockquote>


<h2>Mobile Social Networking</h2>


<p>Seems that a lot of people are using Opera Mini for social networking. As noted in the Opera <a href="http://www.opera.com/mobile_report/">State of the Mobile Web</a></p>


<blockquote>
    <p>Almost 40% of traffic worldwide is to social networks. In some countries, such as the United States, South Africa and Indonesia, the social Web accounts for more than 60% of the traffic.</p>
</blockquote>


<p>I find this very interesting. Specially since I don&#8217;t find social networking sites design that optimized for smaller screens.</p>
